Korean Tensions Spike at Security Forum
Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi made five proposals to the 17th ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) in Vietnam on Friday to enhance regional security. First: Yang said countries should bear in mind the overall situation and interests when dealing with sensitive regional issues, and always safeguard the regional peace and stability.
Second: Yang said countries should adopt a new security concept by seeking cooperation instead confrontation, and respecting and taking care of each other's core interest and security. Third: countries should respect each other, strengthen political mutual trust, improve and develop long-term, healthy and stable relations.
Fourth: countries should exercise restraint when disputes arise and settle disputes through peaceful means. Fifth: countries should make use of multilateral mechanism like Shanghai Cooperation Organization, ASEAN Regional Forum and Six-Party Talks to promote common interest and common security. Chinese FM makes five proposals to strengthen regional security They better take a more forceful role then and force their ally North Korea back to the table at the 6 party talks they refuse to attend.
They better contain North Korea and their needless harmful threats of nuclear war with South Korea and the US first because it will affect them and the entire world. This blustering must stop whatever it is really for because it has gone to far this time. North Korea threatens nuclear war, There is no threat to North Korea they are the threat

New North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un Could Rule By September
China is critical in Asia's future and resolving the issues between the Korea's as we have said numerous times. I hope they step up!
As we discussed in the past, being North Korea's next door neighbor China has more at stake than anyone except North Korea. They must do more! China does not seem to have the leverage they use to or I thought they had. They do have an abstract leverage!
They should want to be key players here, I refuse to believe they want a nuclear war and right there. They better step up and take control of this situation as only they are in a position to do.They are our banker and we owe them trillions. Being North Korea's immediate neighbor they would be the recipient of hundreds of thousands of refugees if not more. Regardless of the past that is gone. We have to be concerned with the future now and China better stop playing games here. This is no joke!.

I kind of feel for China in this matter. They tried some years back to assist North Korea with aid and advice to help N. Korea get it's house in order but Ill wouldn't listen to the advice and China cut off aid.
I do too Demeur but I am sure like you only to a point. They are North Korea's biggest backer, trader, and next door neighbor. Nobody is better equipped to either step up or shut them off.
Interesting times. War games have begun and north Korea is pissed. Our show of force meant to intimidate them might not work. Looks like instead it's antagonizing them.
If this escalates and shit hits the fan, I think China for a number of reasons are very nervous. If there was a mas exodus into China, Not so good.
If War breaks out, and China backs North Korea, I don't think they'll get their money back from us. It bares watching.
Just Imagine Tim, I can't really see them backing North Korea because they are increasingly tied to us and the financial world but they are DPK's neighbors and primary backers. It behooves them to put an end to this and they can I believe. Just imagine if it does break out.
