The Western democracies such as USA and UK have been urging China, India, Russia, Asia, Africa and the West to place trade and economic sanctions supplemented with cut off diplomatic ties and closure of embassies in North Korea post Missile tests.
The aim: to correctly and rightfully isolate North Korea and to ensure fall of it's leader Kim Jong un and the North Korean Regime; and subsequently to unite North Korea with democratic North Korea as has been the case with unification of former West Germany and East Germany.
The USA under leader ship of President Trump; supported by UK and EU rightfully fear that North Korea poses a danger to the World and threatens World peace, stability and prosperity with possibility of armed conflict; security concerns of USA and with possibility of Third World War.
Remember that USA located and killed the biggest terrorist of them all: Osama Bin Ladin in Abbotabad in Pakistan, very close to the Pakistan Army HQ. Despite Pakistan's support, training and funding of terrorists and their activities; Pakistan remains a British "baby" created with Jinnah's support, connivance, treachery and betrayl.
The USA, UK, EU and China have failed to impose any economic, trade and/or diplomatic sanctions against Pakistan. The British love, influence, trade, aid, social and educational funding is significant for Pakistan; for example the British Council are very active in Pakistan.
It is of course in the interest of the British, Americans and the World democracies for Pakistan to be used as a military and navy base in order to keep a leg, hand and eyes facing and towards Asia, India, China, Russia and the Pacific Rim countries. To ensure Pakistan 's pliability, support and co-operation; Pakistan will always be monetarily and financially be infinitely bribed, funded and supported.
The above clearly shows double standards regarding North Korea and Pakistan because rightfully so; political, military, economical, social influence and interests takes priority above all else.
