US, China divided over how to deal with new North Korean ICBM threat


A paradigm-changing North Korean missile test has left the United States and China split over how to deal with the aggressive rogue state. While China and Russia have called for concessions on both sides, the US so far has made no public move to open talks, instead opting to engage in a renewed military show of force with its South Korean ally. North Korea announced Tuesday it had successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which state media said had reached an altitude of 2,802 kilometers (1,741 miles), its highest ever missile test.
