Despite soaring tensions on the Korean peninsula over North Korea’s growing nuclear capabilities, China – which the US thought was poised to help the crisis – neglected to mention Kim’s missile tests during a recent meeting.
Song Tao, the special envoy of Chinese President Xi Jinping, seemingly turned a blind eye to Kim Jong-un’s repeated threats of nuclear war in a move set to enrage Washington.
It comes after Mr Tao reportedly delivered a gift to the depraved regime shortly after US President Donald Trump visited Beijing.
China’s latest move flies in the face of promises it made to Mr Trump that Beijing will increase pressure on the rogue nation to halt its nuclear weapons programme.
