"For Otto to be returned to the U.S. in the state he was in - and then for him to die because of it - is not only an outrage, but it is a tragedy for his entire family", Bae said in a statement. "It doesn't take much to get in trouble in North Korea".
"While I greatly appreciate the efforts of President Xi (Jinping) & China to help with North Korea, it has not worked out".
Otto Warmbier was returned to the United States after being held in North Korea for 17 months.
Warmbier was sentenced in March 2016 to 15 years in prison with hard labor for trying to steal a propaganda sign from a hotel.
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Chinese efforts to persuade North Korea to rein in its nuclear program have failed, ratcheting up the rhetoric over the death of an American student who had been detained by Pyongyang. Three other Americans are now being held captive, and according to the Associated Press, the arrest of one of them, teacher Tony Kim, caused Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to explore the potential of a travel ban in March.
The US student held in captivity for more than 15 months in North Korea has died a week after returning home.
The circumstances of his detention and what medical treatment he received in North Korea remain unknown. "There's no way for me to know that for sure".
Dr. Michael Baden, a Fox News contributor and one of the nation's leading forensic pathologists, says an autopsy may be the only way to determine if the student's coma was the result of botulism and a sleeping pill, as North Korea claims, or a savage beating.
And in a tweet days after his meeting with President Xi Jinping in April, Trump had said, "I explained to the President of China that a trade deal with the United States will be far better for them if they solve the North Korean problem'".

European Union officials said they wouldn't do anything to undermine USA moves to tighten economic sanctions on Pyongyang.
The government of China, North Korea's main ally, said Warmbier's death was a tragedy.
Young Pioneer Tours, the China-based group Warmbier used for his trip, said it would no longer take Americans to the country.
Analysts said anger over Warmbier's death would dim, if not scuttle, any prospect of a less antagonistic relationship in the near future between Washington and Pyongyang, which is still holding three other Americans.
