US President "disappointed" with China after North Korea missile test

US President Donald Trump says he is "very disappointed" with China for not doing enough to stop North Korea's weapons program.

Writing on Twitter, he said he would not allow China to "do nothing" about the reclusive state.

His comments came a day after Pyongyang test-fired its second intercontinental ballistic missile in a month.

It later claimed the test proved that the entire US was within striking range of its weaponry.

On Saturday, two US B-1 bombers conducted exercises over the Korean peninsula with South Korean and Japanese planes, the US Pacific Command said, "as a part of the continuing demonstration of ironclad US commitment to our allies".
