China puts best foot forward on North Korea sanctions

The United States sent a message to Pyongyang by flying two B-1 bombers over South Korea on Tuesday, even as US envoy Sung Kim declared America’s intention to “secure the strongest possible resolution that includes new sanctions as quickly as possible” from the U.N. Security Council.

The U.N. chief was asked about the possibility of traveling to Pyongyang to de-escalate tensions and open a new channel of diplomatic communications, “also in view of your possible candidacy as president of your country next year”.

He uses his body all the time – that is his quality – and he was nearly unstoppable against Swansea.

China, the North’s chief ally, backed the March resolution but is more resistant to harsh new sanctions this time after United States and South Korea made a decision to deploy a sophisticated anti-missile system in the South, which China adamantly opposes.

“Assessment by South Korean and United States intelligence is that the North is always ready for an additional nuclear test in the Punggye-ri area”, spokesman Moon Sang-gyun said, according to Reuters. North Korea fully understands that that would be the end of the whole region.

Oh said that it took three months for the Security Council to adopt a new resolution after the North’s fourth nuclear test in January, and that members of the council hope to adopt a new resolution faster than last time. And China knows it is not the target of North Korea’s nukes.

Jeffrey Lewis of the California-based Middlebury Institute of International Studies said North Korea had an unconstrained source of fissile material, both plutonium from the Yongbyon reactor and highly-enriched uranium from at least one and probably two sites.

Yi also reiterated China’s opposition to the deployment of the U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) system.

This prompts the secretary to say: ‘So Mr President, you were testing the hardness of your skull while the North was testing its hydrogen bomb?’, which draws uproars of laughter from the audience.
