Josh Stanton at OFK on Nork missile launch
Long piece with lots of links, but perhaps the best analysis I've seen so far. His take is similar to that of the Burg: North Korea is a client state of China. It does little that China doesn't want it to do. The quickest way to control the Norks is to lean on China. China controls most of N. Korea's trade and finance, particularly oil and banking.

Why hasn't the U.S. leaned on China successfully? Because our current administration (and the last three) didn't want to. Simple as that.
