Tensions between the united states. And north korea are escalating once again, following president trump’s landmark tour of asia. President trump is calling on all nations to work together to prevent north korea’s nuclear program from reaching completion. A new report indicates that no matter how many deterrents are put in place, north korea is continuing its push to extend its missile-launching abilities.

Satellite imagery collected by a news outlet “38 north” shows that north korea’s attempt to deploy its first operational ballistic missile submarine could be successful in the near future.

In another news article conducted by roberta valencia for newsweek reports that the u.S. Intelligence chas confirmed that if completed, the north korean submarine, at more than 2000 tons, will be “the largest vessel ever constructed for the north korean navy since the najin-class frigates”.

The fact that the us president has called for all nations to aid in stopping north korea comes under the precedence that the missile launch and north korea's ability to thus launch a nuclear attack is against all the un security clauses and can endanger human lives on a massive scale.

But china’s response has not been well documented. Being one if the supporters of the region, the stance taken from the chinese government seems to be no different.
While a recent article in the guardian, posted on november 29th of this year, highlights china's reluctance towards supporting north korea’s missile launch capability; it cannot and should not be mistaken as abandonment. China is proving to be a great advisor to north korea in its currently tense situation and is still pressing on resolving matters through dialogue and other peaceful means. This is where we see a major difference between the us and china as their solution to dealing with north korea is completely different. It is safe to say that china might be doing what is smarter of the two, and what is also more importantly in line with the un security clauses as a peaceful approach through dialogue and logic could avert further advancements.

President trump however does not seem to agree at all with china's approach as we observe that those american troops who are stationed in south korea are on alert as this story develops. Our correspondents have interviewed two members of the navy…
