China protects North Korea because china feels weaker than and vulnerable to the US in China's own backyard, and need North Korea as a leverage and buffer. Chinese public generally knows this.
Therefore trump's chest thumping will have precisely the opposite effect by making the Chinese public feel the case for protecting North Korea is all the stronger.
The chest thumping is, almost unbelievably, even more stupid then that, because the threat is completely hollow, and the Chinese, and the South Koreans, to say nothing of the North Koreans, knows this far better than trump. This is no tribute to them because everyone who is anyone knows any and everything far better than trump.
