US President lashes out at China after N Korea carries out another missile test
US President Donald Trump has accused China of failing to rein in North Korea despite making "hundreds of billions of dollars in trade" with the US.
Mr Trump's comments come after Pyongyang last week held another successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile that analysts said could mean the US mainland is now within range.
The US President has long accused China of profiting at the expense of America, while he and his senior officials have warned Beijing they expect the Chinese government to exert pressure on North Korean leader Kim Jong-un over his nuclear and missile programmes, reported the UK's Independent.
Mr Trump wrote on Twitter, late on Saturday night: "I am very disappointed in China. Our foolish past leaders have allowed them to make hundreds of billions of dollars a year in trade, yet they do NOTHING for us with North Korea, just talk.
"We will no longer allow this to continue. China could easily solve this problem!"
When Chinese Premier Xi Jinping visited Washington in April, Mr Trump admitted his counterpart gave him a history lesson on China's relationship with North Korea.
"After listening for 10 minutes, I realised it's not so easy," he said. "I felt pretty strongly that they had a tremendous power over North Korea. But it's not what you would think."
The US and South Korea carried out a live-fire missile training exercise in response to the latest launch by the North.
