There is "third option". We have been putting pressure on them and sanctions on them for decades with no change.
And btw, China has no desire to help us. China has a choice between North Korea as it is, or Korea becoming one country friendly to the United States which is just not an option for China.
Trump is setting up himself up for failure here. North Korea is not about to back down, because they know the United States will never attack. Millions will die if war breaks out. Knowing this, North Korea can do whatever it wants.

We've exhausted every avenue except limiting trade with China. We did the opposite while China provided the trade with NK in order for them to afford to build their military capabilities.
Now NK has a nuclear and the ability to deliver missiles to Japan and SK. Do we allow them to;
A. Build their missiles until they can deliver to the US or EU? This has been the response so far.
B. Impose trade restrictions on China? Got to be the safest options, China won't go to war with its largest customers.
C. Go to war? A bloody option but with surgical strikes the West can take out most of NK capabilities to wage war. NK can't keep the lights on 24/7 and will the majority of the population choose to back the Kim regime?
