On this I am in agreement with President Trump.
China has turned a blind eye. Missile components recovered after failed NK launches were made in China.
Needless to say, this is just a starting point for sanctions against Chinese companies.
Next would be countries prohibiting NK workers into their country. This is a major source of funds for NK.
I would hope that the EU and other western countries do the same.

Among the flurry of U.S. legal maneuverings on Tuesday involving North Korea, maybe the most revealing involves a federal lawsuit aimed at the businesses of one Chinese entrepreneur.

Chi Yupeng, a 48-year-old Chinese accountant, controls a network of companies that in recent years imported $700 million of North Korean coal, according to the lawsuit.

In return for the North Korean coal, according to U.S. officials cited in the lawsuit, Chi’s companies allegedly sent back to North Korea an array of products: cellphones, sugar, luxury items and, perhaps most importantly, components of nuclear devices and missiles.
The alleged details of Chi's business network, laid out in a U.S. lawsuit seeking the forfeiture of funds that flowed through U.S. banks, suggest how one Chinese entrepreneur may have been able to evade the trade restrictions against North Korea and, more broadly, how important such trade has been in the development North Korea's ever more fearsome arsenal

We've been kissing Chinese ass for thirty years:

"Please make it so North Korea won't nuke us and we'll let you empty our treasury by stealing our trade secrets, ignoring our patents, and cheating on agreements." Why should China believe any US president is serious about North Korea nuclear threat or China's mercantilism?

People are just now realizing that China has been enabling NK for forever now? Uhhh....oh ok. Like I've been saying for a while now, China is the real future threat.

There's a problem. There needs to be a nuclear weapon to fund.
