You are being WAY too melodramatic on this. NK does not hold anything to America's head. If they launch a nuke at America, America absolutely obliterates NK. NK knows this, so they will NEVER launch a nuke at America. Well, NEVER in our lifetimes.
NK has the right to defend themselves and they have a right to nukes just as much as any country, IMO (and I do not care about silly nuclear treaties...Israel doesn't either). Now, would I rather NK did NOT have nukes...sure. But they do and life goes on. But they are in NO WAY, shape or form holding 'a nuclear knife' to America's throat.
America has no business butting into NK affairs and she should remove all her troops from SK (and ALL other countries as well and bring them home). SK should shut up and fight their own battles. Plus, all getting in NK's face does is strengthen the little, fat guy's hold on his people as he can use the threat of American invasion as justification for throwing **** loads of money (they do not have) at their military and treating their people so horrible in the name of 'national security'. If America wants NK to start acting decent, they should leave that region alone and let them solve their own problems.
As for China? They are under no obligation whatsoever to do anything about NK's nukes. China probably knows that it is stupid and costly to try and butt into other countries problems. So they generally don't.
All Trump is saying - in essence - is he is utterly clueless as to what to do about NK; so he is trying to browbeat Chinas into doing Trump's dirty work for him. Period. Children blame others for their shortcoming's. Adult's just get on with it and find a way to fix the problem.
Oh, and the launcher vehicle you mention was for transporting trees that NK - against China's wishes, apparently - turned into missiles transporters. China did not sell them the trucks just to carry rockets.

No doubt you disagree with all/most of the above...so be it.
Good day.
Didn't we launch a couple test missiles ourselves at one time? And blow up a couple islands just for giggles while were developing our own arsenal?
Other countries will try to catch up. That's a given. The question is what should we do about it. Put a missile up Kim Un's ass? Shoot down NK missiles? Yell loudly that Someone else, namely China, needs to fix it?
