Libertarian-leaning Republican Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) says that he agrees with President Donald Trumps decision to include China on the current tension going on with North Korea.

Theyre a socialist economy. They dont produce enough food to feed themselves, sort of an inhospitable place, its cold and somewhat barren. I think that most of their food coming in from China, China could have some on their behavior, Paul said at a medal ceremony in honor of late World War II veteran Otto Grosnik.

Paul also said that open dialogue is important and he believes the world can help reign in Kim Jong Un from making rash decisions.

This comes as Trumps national security adviser said that there was an international consensus on North Koreas provocation.

There has been recent criticism within China itself over Beijings North Korea policy. Shen Zihua, considered Chinas best-known historian on the Korean War, recently criticized North Korea in a speech that has not been censored by the Chinese government.

Judging by the current situation, North Korea is Chinas latent enemy and South Korea could be Chinas friend, Shen said, according to the New York Times.We must see clearly that China and North Korea are no longer brothers in arms, and in the short term theres no possibility of an improvement in Chinese-North Korean relations.

This also comes as the United States is preparing to test their ability to shoot down missiles and have scheduled two tests in May according to CNN.
