'China wants the U.S. and North Korea to negotiate directly; the U.S. insists Kim Jong Un make a credible show he’s willing to give up his nuclear program before talks can begin. '
'In his comments in Seoul, Tillerson laid out details of the U.S. approach, saying it would focus on getting China to better enforce United Nations sanctions against North Korea. '
'Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi pushed back against the tougher U.S. line on North Korea, reiterating his country’s view that the only way to rein in its reclusive neighbor is through talks. '
'Wang spoke at a briefing in Beijing with U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who in Seoul on Friday refused to rule out a preemptive strike against Pyongyang if the threat from its weapons program was deemed severe enough. '
' While Tillerson has said a key component of his new effort involves pressing China -- North Korea’s main ally and economic lifeline -- to better enforce UN sanctions, Wang said the matter is primarily between the U.S. and Pyongyang.“The Korean peninsula nuclear issue in nature is an issue between the United States and the DPRK,” Wang said, using the acronym for North Korea’s formal name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. “It is obliged upon all parties to implement the sanctions and restart the talks at the same time.”'
