\nRepublican Rep. Adam Kinzinger from Illinois said the United States may have to sanction China if they continue to turn a blind eye to rising North Korean aggression.
During a Fox News interview, Kinzinger said China \u201cneeds to be\u201d a reliable partner in combating threats from North Korea.
\u201cIt\u2019s kind of a two-front approach, \u201d he said of working with China. \u201cOne, we have to force China to engage. We tried to do that with a carrot. It\u2019s not working, so there\u2019s gonna have to be a stick.\u201d
Kinzinger suggested placing sanctions on Chinese businesses that do business with North Korea to disincentivize economic gains between the two countries.
Then, he said, the U. S. needs to be ready to respond militarily.
\u201cSecond, we have to begin to have the right military posture, \u201d Kinzinger explained. \u201cNot just in executing a war in North Korea \u2014 which, God forbid, may have to happen, hopefully not \u2014 but in terms of missile defense here at home, and in terms of the ability to destroy an intercontinental ballistic missile in its boost phase or even before it takes off.\u201d
