More pressure by President Trump on Xi Jinping for China to do more to restrict Chinese trade with North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cAnd I think the administration is still looking for an opening towards negotiations because the risks of a war are so great of developing an even greater war in the Korean peninsula, I think the administration will be very sensitive about that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">China denied breaking any UN sanction by selling oil to North Korea but considering its past failure to conform with UN sanctions, it would be fair for the US to question China&#8217;s compliance, said Mr Burns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Mr Burns added: \u201cThat\u2019s what the Trump administration has to do, and for the President particularly with Xi Jinping, keep the Chinese focused on what they said they\u2019re going to do and have them do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cBut also, ask the Chinese to do more because it\u2019s not in the interest of China to see this terrible problem of the North Korean peninsula heat up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">In an article for the New York Times, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson hinted that the Trump administration might be more aggressive against China in general and intellectual property rights and other trade disputes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Mr Trump&#8217;s administration held off in 2017 to pressure China on trade because they needed Xi Jinping\u2019s help with North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cThat may change in the next few months, so that bears watching as well\u201d, said Mr Burns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">He added: \u201cIt\u2019s going to be one of the most important early determinants in January and February, where the administration is going.
