Clinton says North Korea has no friends left, credits Chinese with helping pressure the regime

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says that North Korea is isolated as never before and that China has been enormously helpful in pressuring the regime to abandon its nuclear program.

Clinton says that North Korea doesn't have any friends left.

The secretary of state recently returned from a tour of Asia and credits China with being "extremely positive and productive" in respect to North Korea.

The hardline regime has abandoned promises to dismantle its nuclear program and recently conducted a number of missile tests and an underground nuclear explosion.

Clinton spoke Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
