Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu made the remarks at a presser when commenting on the Korean Peninsula situation, according to Xinhua. "The situation on the Peninsula is still sensitive and complicated, and required all parties concerned to work together to find a solution," Jiang was quoted as saying. "If the situation becomes chaotic, the first to suffer will be the people of the Korean Peninsula," said Jiang, calling on relevant parties to stay calm and refrain from actions that could increase tensions. | Next verse, same as the first... |
Launched in 2003 but stalled since the end of 2008, the six-party talks involve host China, South and North Korea, the US, Japan and Russia. Tensions remain high on the Korean Peninsula after North Korea's Nov. 23 artillery strike on a South Korean island, which killed four people, including two civilians, and maimed 18 others. | It's like a Chinese version of the Grand Old Opry.
