China?s move to ban all coal imports from North Korea, effectively slicing the country?s exports by about half, came with a message to the U.S. and its allies: It?s time to do a deal. In its first month, Trump?s administration said it would deploy the missile defense system this year in South Korea and back Japan ?100 percent? in moves to deter North Korea. U.S. President Donald Trump has called on China to get tougher on North Korea, and this month promised to deal with the country ? very strongly? after its latest ballistic missile test. North Korea has accelerated its development of nuclear bombs and ballistic missiles since 2009, when it walked away from six-party talks involving the U.S., South Korea, China, Russia and Japan. ?The case fully exposed the desperate irrationality of the Kim regime,? Shi said.
