President Donald Trump promised to deal with North Korea ?very strongly? after its latest missile test and called on China to get tougher.
The commentary called the coal ban ?tantamount to the enemies? moves to bring down the social system? in North Korea, which is formally known as the Democratic People?s Republic of Korea.
?The North has no ability to confront China," the Global Times editorial said.
The fact that the commentary didn?t mention China by name shows Pyongyang intends to pressure Beijing without pushing too hard, the Global Times said.
North Korea hit out at China in an unusual hostile commentary on state-run media, denouncing the country?s decision to ban coal imports from the isolated nation as ?inhumane? and vowing to carry on developing nuclear weapons.
