It is complicated. I feel that China may have more complex dealings with North Korea and has more might and know-how in dealing with such people. They both are of the Asian persuasion and may have better communication between the two of them than say we would.
In reverse, think about us (USA) being Australia's ally. And then think of China being Australia's ally. Whom do you think Australia would be most likely to understand regarding any negotiation tactics that may come their way with either selection of USA or China as Austraila's only choice?
Thank you for your thoughtful answer Shar. Perhaps. It just seems to me to be an arbitrary demand. As if North Korea is China's black sheep child. I can't see why China should take on any more responsibility for the actions of North Korea than any other country. Thanks for trying to get through to me. I'm gonna have to work on it. :)
Your thinking is based on logic.. i am a very logical person myself so I appreciate logic.. However, just one thing... many of the asian countries hate each other... for instance CHina and Japan... old wounds...
It's not about China controlling North Korea, but getting China to try to rein them in. If North Korea keeps doing what they are doing there will be military action.
Because they share the same beliefs has North Korea. They share the same border, both are communist countries. What other country do you think North Korea might listen to? It's also in China's interest to try to rein in that lunatic.
What "consensus"? This isn't yet another instance where you present something as fact in your opening sentence and use it to preface your biased viewpoint disguised as a question, is it?
Non consensual me :P I don't think China has a responsibility... sure they can negotiate and use whatever influence they have but it isn't something they have to do, that's just Trump being an unrealistic bully again.
