Details of the question are as follows.
China should calm down North Korea
- Is US military action on the Korean Peninsula possible?
Bannon
I think that the United States should continue to put pressure on China and calm the situation in North Korea.
I think that North Korea is a dependent country of China.
The response to the situation in North Korea should be handed over from the United States to China.
- Does China have a responsibility to control North Korea?
Bannon
Of course.
It is China's responsibility to calm the situation in North Korea.
In my opinion of number one, personal conviction, thinking, I think that China should change the behavior of North Korea.
I do not think that the US and Japan should bilateral talks with North Korea.
I think that everything is the responsibility of China.
We should not allow China to leave the problem of North Korea.
A lot of forming in it in China in including the ban of the petroleum exportation which results completely to North Korea.
If the US keeps pressure on China, we will be able to get good results.
- China should work towards denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula? In case
Bannon
That's it.
China wants denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
China should stop the development of nuclear weapons by North Korea.
North Korean military and nuclear weapons are receiving support from China.
Japan and the United States should continue to put pressure on China to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.
- The tension is increasing in the South China Sea, where China is moving to a military base.
Bannon
China should stop unnecessary behavior.
President Trump has offered arbitration due to the problem of the South China Sea, but he is a deal maker (who was good at trading etc.).
I think that he has some idea about arbitration.
President Trump has recently visited China.
I think that the relationship have developed between Xi Jinping President of the People's Republic of China.
- (The change theory is smoldering from the line confrontation with Mr. Trump) Do you think that US Secretary of State Tillerson will resign?
Bannon
I do not want to anticipate it.
Many people have worked for Mr. Trump for a year.
Many people will be long (under Mr. Trump).
