North Korea in trouble as China issues strong warning to Dictator
Kim Jong-un saying any further test of nuclear weapons would make them regret their
actions. Saying in the event of any outbreak of war, North Korea would be
suffer the major casualty, especially Pyongyang.
An editorial piece in the Global Times, widely regarded as
the mouthpiece of the Communist Party, said: “The game of chicken between
Washington and Pyongyang has come to a breaking point.”
It further added that should North Korea engage in another nuclear
missile test “it is more likely than ever that the situation will cross the
point of no return”.
The piece continued: “All stakeholders will bear the
consequences, with Pyongyang sure to suffer the greatest losses.”
Lu Kang said: “The current situation on the Korean Peninsula
is complicated and sensitive and the tension is high.
“We urge all sides concerned to keep restrained and calm and
refrain from taking actions that could escalate tensions.”
Nevertheless the speechmaking coming out of America is not
particularly pacifying, with the US’ ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley urging
her nation to “maximise pressure” on the “paranoid” North Korean dictator. Even
as the US president has urged the Chinese government to reign in its
hard-talking ally.
The Republican tweeted, after having a face-to-face meeting
with Xi Jinping as well as a phone call in recent weeks, that China should
“solve the North Korea problem”.
In readiness for any showdown, U.S. and South Korean troops
have been having series of war games in the Korean peninsula.
However, Jong-un, not notorious for his slow attitude, has
shown no sign of backing down so far, as he vows to turn America into “ashes”.
According to a Pyongyang-based newspaper: “There is no limit
to the strike power of the People's Army armed with our style of cutting-edge
military equipment including various precision and miniaturised nuclear weapons
and submarine-launched ballistic missiles.”
Thus, President Trump yesterday made a call for anurgent
meeting at the Senate where he vowed to fix the North Korean problem.
He said: "The status quo in North Korea is unacceptable
and the council must be prepared to impose additional and stronger sanctions on
North Korean nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
"North Korea is a big world problem, and it’s a problem
we have to finally solve."
