Only one country has influence on North Korea, is China
As per latest report only China can stop North Korea carrying out further nuclear tests, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has said appearing to admit the West has little leverage and speaking after the Communist state has carried out its largest atomic test to date, Mr. Johnson has conceded that the current strategy to curb Kim Jong-un's regime did not appear to be working.
Johnson has added that they have now seen a couple in the last year, which suggests, worryingly, that the technology that the North Koreans have access to is improving and we need to think how to calibrate our response and what the right response should be.
Meanwhile in a statement through state-run media, North Korea has said a test had finally examined and has confirmed the structure and specific features of movement of a nuclear warhead that has been standardized to be able to be mounted on strategic ballistic rockets.
It was stated that the latest test was declared on state TV hours after a 5.3 magnitude tremor was detected near the Punggye-ri underground nuclear site and Japan has called North Korea an “outlaw nation” and the US warned of “serious consequences”.
