US Secretary of State John Kerry said said there had been enough confrontational language on North Korea and he did not want to get into a cycle of threats and counter-threats with the country.
Mr Kerry was speaking in Beijing after talks with senior Chinese leaders.
He has made no secret of his desire to see China take a more activist stance toward North Korea, which in recent weeks has threatened nuclear war against the US.
As the North's main trading partner, financial backer and the closest thing it has to a diplomatic ally, China has a unique ability to use its leverage against it, Mr Kerry said yesterday.
"There is no group of leaders on the face of the planet who have more capacity to make a difference in this than the Chinese, and everybody knows it, including, I believe, them," Mr Kerry said.
"They want to see us try to reach an amicable resolution to this," he said.
"But you have to begin with a reality, and the reality is that if your policy is denuclearisation - and it is theirs as it is ours as it is everybody's except the North's at this moment - if that's your policy, you've got to put some teeth into it," he said.
Mr Kerry was scheduled to meet with the top echelon of China's leadership today, including President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang and State Councilor Yang Jiechi, China's top diplomat..
