As North Korea tests a new, more capable ballistic missile, the U.S. is running out of options when it comes to a response. A roundup of editorials Wednesday takes a look at the choices.

Opinions from the Right:

1. Why North Korea just tested another ballistic missile, and why Trump must now punish China

From The Washington Examiner: The road to peace with North Korea runs through China. It’s time they stop Kim Jung Un.

2. What now with this lethal North Korean mess?

From McClatchy: In light of Tuesday’s test, what is there left to try with North Korea?

3. Time China puts Kim in his place

From The Boston Herald: The North Korean problem is decades old and, still, China has done nothing.
