Turzanski says Trump's attention to the North Korea situation was direct.
"He spoke in very dramatic terms about the threat, and what the United States intends to do to respond to that threat," he said. "And, I would think, more than the North Koreans the Chinese are the ones who are going to take careful stock of what he said and how he said it."
He says China has facilitated North Korea's bad behavior and if it wants to, can exercise influence over the country's dictator and his nuclear ambitions.
