The US continues to escalate the situation on the Korean Peninsula. Washington regularly conducts military exercises in the region. Moreover, the deployment of THAAD in South Korea is almost finished.
According to the Deputy Chief of the Operational Joint Staff of the Central Military Commission of China the General-major Cai Jun, the actions of the US on the Korean Peninsula are inconflict with the efforts of the UN and the international community to resolve the conflict between North and South Korea by political means.
Washington supports a diplomatic settlement of the situation around Pyongyang, but according to the Donald Trump’s statement, this way is the most difficult. Obviously, the method of pressure and intimidation of the DPRK is a more priority and simple.
At the same time, North Korea continues to launch missiles. So, the next run was recorded on 28th of April. DPRK tests missiles of the new generation that will be able to overcome missile defense of the United States. It is obvious that the missile-nuclear potential of the DPRK is a powerful and perhaps the only argument to confront the enemies in the case of a nuclear threat that they see in the United States. In this case, formation of a significant nuclear capability is impossible without regular missile launches.
On the contrary, the North Korean rocket launch is a good opportunity for US to impose sanctions on the DPRK. Thus, in the opinion of the Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, the DPRK is abusing his diplomatic privileges to found illegal missile-nuclear programs. As a result, Tokyo and Seoul should suspend diplomatic relations with the DPRK or bring down.
In addition, Washington demands this from Beijing. China is the main trade partner of the DPRK and, according to the United States, has an influence on her.The States want to strengthen cooperation and contacts with China, said Tillerson. In this issue Washington may relyupon the assistance of China, as the Chinese authorities have already sent the DPRK a notification that in case of a new nuclear test, Beijing would unilaterally impose sanctions against Pyongyang.
After China has imposed the sanctions against the DPRK, the situation on the Korean Peninsula will only grow worse. The conflict of interests between the DPRK and the ROK and China, of course, is convenient for US. Therefore, the following Washington's policies could lead to even more tension in the region.

There seems to be a big tradeoff between China and America and Trump suggested that if China forces North Korea to abandon its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, China will be ensured that its trade with America will be safe from additional tariffs. China has offered unconditional financial aid of $600 billion a year for the next 10 years, the lifting of all international sanctions on the isolated country, and the settlement of the Wasington-Pyongyang peace treaty to promise the safety of the Kim regime. China reportedly suggested in return to dump nuclear weapon and missile programs within three years of the deal's signing.
