China warns US, S. Korea against provoking N. Korea confrontation

China has warned Washington and Seoul towards “provoking confrontation” with North Korea, urging them to play a extra constructive position.

Beijing’s feedback Thursday got here after President Joe Biden and his South Korean counterpart stated Pyongyang would face the “end” of its management if it used its nuclear arsenal.

“All parties should face up to the crux of the (Korean) peninsula issue and play a constructive role in promoting a peaceful settlement of the issue,” overseas ministry spokeswoman, Mao Ning, stated.

She urged towards “deliberately stirring up tensions, provoking confrontation and playing up threats.”

At a summit in Washington, Biden and Yoon Suk Yeol made clear that if the remoted dictatorship in North Korea attacked the South or the United States, the response could be devastating.

The two sides additionally agreed that the U.S. safety protect for South Korea could be strengthened within the face of the nuclear-armed North’s missile assessments.

Beijing condemned that call on Thursday, saying Washington “ignores regional security and insists on exploiting the peninsula issue to create tension.”

“What the U.S. is doing … provokes confrontation between camps, undermines the nuclear non-proliferation regime and the strategic interests of other countries,” Mao stated.

U.S. strikes, she added, “aggravate tensions on the peninsula, undermine regional peace and stability, and run counter to the goal of denuclearization on the peninsula.”
