China and North Korea

China must persuade North Korea to end their nuclear weapons program. Japan, China, Russia, and South Korea must revive the stalled dialogue. China has the ability to revive the stalled dialogue and maybe end North Korea nuclear weapons program. China shares North Korea longest border and is the major trading partner and major income source for North Korea. Even so, China does not want to impose sanctions or economic pressure on North Korea. China does not believe sanctions or economic pressure would be effective, instead China prefers to end the North Korea nuclear weapons program through dialogue. Dialogue seems to be fading as an option for North Korea.
