North Korea: A Different Threat

It is not hard to know yourself; staying at your own position is matter. 
China and Russia are two main actors of the world and whereas the term "new world order" was initiated by the U.S. but Washington DC is not the player that is going to take over the globalization. War on Afghanistan and Iraq were the best post-Cold War gift to Moscow in order to get a recovery. And now, the White House is surrounded by small and unnecessary issues including North Korea. 
Although paranoid politics is not a wise approach but finding the climate change and subsequently, the Paris Agreement as Chinese hoax and dismissing the very Pyongyang play, is not politics anymore. As the North Korea case is in the question, China is enabled to benefits from the Korean conflict. 
Neutralizing the North Korean card is the best move in favor of constant security and against Beijing. At this point of time, the White House should concentrate on the world order, globalization, the current major and emerging actors such as India and Brazil.
