[Breitbart] President Donald Trump has alarmed the Chinese government again with a threat to cut economic ties to nations that do business with North Korea.
China is North Korea’s largest trading partner and a major player in the U.S. market. Trump will face heavy criticism suggesting that no trade warnings will get China to abandon its fellow communist state and North Korea may never react rationally to international pressure.
These concerns, like North Korea itself, are not relevant to the real reason America cannot morally justify trade with China: its decades of history committing flagrant human rights abuses, the kind that have gotten countries like Cuba blacklisted from the American market for decades.
Following North Korea’s announcement of yet another nuclear bomb test on Sunday ‐ its sixth such test and, Pyongyang claims, its first successful hydrogen bomb attack ‐ President Trump took to Twitter, scolding South Korea’s leftist government for believing dialogue with the regime was an option and threatening military action against North Korea. |
