"As North Korea prepares a potential missile test and issues threats almost daily, the Obama administration on Saturday looked again for China to force its unruly neighbor to stand down. CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan, reporting from Beijing, said on "CBS This Morning: Saturday" that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with China's president and foreign minister and pushed them to freeze North Korea's accounts so that it can no longer purchase weapons. But, so far that, hasn't worked. Brennan reports China's having its own trouble influencing North Korea. Rising tensions in the Korean peninsula recently led China's president to warn of regional chaos. China's worried that a flood of North Korean refugees will spill across its border if war breaks out. China's also concerned for its security, Brennan reports. A state-owned news service reported that an air raid drill was held in a Chinese town on the North Korean border Friday."
