<p>China is not doing enough on North Korea which continues to violate international norms by conducting nuclear and missile tests, the White House has said.<br /><br />"I don't think China is doing enough now because the problem is not resolved. So the question is, how much more must we do together to address this, short of a military solution," US National Security Advisor Lt Gen H R McMaster said at a news conference.<br /><br />"So that's the kind of discussions that we will continue to have with the Chinese leadership as we work together with them -- not pressuring them -- but working with them," McMaster said.<br /><br />US President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit in Germany next week.<br /><br />He said it should not really be about pressuring China but about working with China in common interests.<br />During their talks in Florida Trump and XI agreed on a joint objective of denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula.<br /><br />"That's a solid basis to work together on. There's a lot more to be done, however. The President has said that he will not tolerate a North Korean regime that can target the US, that can reach the US with a nuclear weapon. He just won't tolerate it," he said.<br /><br />"So what we have is a commitment to deliver to him a broad range of options and to do our best to work with everyone, including China, on this. So it's not a question of pressuring China. It's a question of working with China to do more about this problem so it doesn't get to everybody wants to avoid," the top White House official said.<br /><br />There was speculation earlier this year that North Korea was set to provoke Trump with its sixth nuclear test since 2006. However, the reclusive state has instead carried out a series of missile launches<br />North Korea has in 2016 carried out two nuclear tests and 20 ballistic missile tests, all in violation of international law, according to US authorities. <br /><br /></p>
