Xi sees where this is headed if he doesn’t reign in his boy Kim. No more playing both sides for the Chinese.

Xi has known this for some time but no doubt holding out as long as he could....we knew this would be a testing time for China...and China knew it too...they simply played it as far as they dared to go without seriously hurting their own endeavors. However....it's far from being over regarding N.Korea.

Just a further note.....it is becoming increasingly common for Chinese textile firms to take orders from international fashion brands and then ‘send fabrics and other raw materials to North Korean factories just across the border, where worker wages are much lower, to be sewn into the finished clothes. The clothes are sent back to Chinese ports and exported globally, bearing “Made in China” tags.....

THIS is the trade war the sanctions etc are currently affecting China has concerns about. If N.Korean people can’t work in their factories for China it’s going to cost China heavily to make them in their own country.......
