China urges US and N. Korea to avert 'head-on collision'
 [Yahoo] China warned Wednesday that North Korea and the United States were like two trains racing towards a "head-on collision," calling on both sides to apply the brakes and avert a security crisis.Foreign Minister Wang Yi's warning came after a cascade of events that has sent regional tensions soaring, including provocative North Korean missile tests and annual US-South Korean wargames that infuriate Pyongyang. Beijing itself is particularly concerned over an American missile-defence system being rolled out in South Korea as a shield against the North Korean threat, but which Wang said also "undermines China's strategic security." Seems China is getting seriously worried that we might blast their puppet off the map. He called on North Korea to suspend its nuclear and missile activities in exchange for the US and South Korea halting the military exercises. "The two sides are like two accelerating trains coming toward each other with neither side willing to give way," Wang said at a press conference on the sidelines of China's annual parliament session. "The question is: are the two sides really ready for a head-on collision? Our priority now is to flash the red light and apply the brakes on both trains." Pyongyang blasted at least four missiles toward Japan on Monday, three of which splashed down in waters within Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone, saying they were tests for a possible strike on US bases in Japan. Wang said China's proposal could help bring the US and North Korea back to negotiations on ending Pyongyang's weapons programmes. Good luck China, but it seems your little hellspawn has decided to go without you and take on the world. Enjoy having a fully armed Japan (with possible nukes) and South Korea working together because of this. Posted by: DarthVader 2017-03-08 |
