China on Monday criticized President Donald Trump's threat to cut off U.S. trade with countries that deal with North Korea and rejected pressure to do more to halt the North's nuclear development.
Trump issued the threat after North Korea on Sunday exploded a thermonuclear device in its sixth and most powerful nuclear test. The threat was seen as a warning to China, North Korea's main trading partner and only major ally.
A foreign ministry spokesman, Geng Shuang, criticized Trump's stance as unfair to Beijing.
"What is definitely unacceptable to us is that on the one hand we work so hard to peacefully resolve this issue and on the other hand our interests are subject to sanctions and jeopardized," Geng said at a regular news briefing. "This is unfair."
Such an approach would be drastic if applied to China, from which the United States imports goods worth about $40 billion a month.
Trump said it was under consideration "in addition to other options."
Asked whether Beijing would support tougher U.N. sanctions such as cutting off oil supplies to North Korea, Geng didn't mention oil but said whatever happened would depend on discussions among council members. Geng said China, one of five permanent Security Council members with power to veto U.N. actions, would take part in a "responsible and constructive way."
Geng expressed frustration at Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's comment that Beijing had a responsibility to influence North Korea due to its status as the North's main trading partner.

Stopping trade with China will hurt us as much as hurting China.
No it would not.
Even more reason not to invest in, purchase or support Communist Chinese products.
BS...No sale. The U.S. can get by just fine without Communist Chinese products.
In fact, every American should start boycotting Communist Chinese products with vengeance, until they stop trading with their good friends the North Koreans.
“I bet China is behind North Korea acting up.”
Of course it is.
Stalin created North Korea, but the ChiComs nurtured it and raised it.
OMG China take out the Young Un and let NK join the human race
Americans are used to cheap chicom tools, electronics, gadgets etc. for this to happen.
Our economy would tank like nothing we’ve ever seen.
Communism has always been an aristocracy system that pretends it is not.
“Without a total and complete embargo of Norklandia, and full blockade, there will be a nuclear war.”
I don’t think that will result in anything but massive civilian suffering and a nuclear launch by Kim.
“Without a total and complete embargo of Norklandia, and full blockade, there will be a nuclear war.”
Chinese railroads least affected.
Then make hasty plans to do massive trade with India as a replacement for China.
Turn the massive container ships away.....the $hit will suddenly get real.
They can’t fight sleep and they wanna fight us?
“Geng expressed frustration at Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s comment that Beijing had a responsibility to influence North Korea due to its status as the North’s main trading partner.”
It’s good that Australia is speaking up also.
“Such an approach would be drastic if applied to China, from which the United States imports goods worth about $40 billion a month.”
All the more reason to pressure China.
Say, do you think they are getting more help lately?
Deal with it, sonny. America’s got it going on.
If you think about it...we already have more than enough of that “stuff”. We are self sufficient in food and energy..we can do without Walmart “stuff” for a while. However, China has to import both and has no need of the “stuff” they sell us. Plus, can’t the rest of Asia step up production of “stuff” for us?
