CHINA has asked North Korea to ensure the safety of its diplomats after a warning that missions should consider evacuating, and said it would not tolerate "troublemaking" on its doorstep.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said China "expresses grave concerns" about the growing tensions on the Korean Peninsula but that the Chinese embassy was "operating normally."
"The Chinese government has already asked the North Korea side to earnestly ensure the safety of Chinese diplomats in North Korea, in accordance with the Vienna Convention and international laws and practices," he said.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi told UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon by phone there were deep concerns. "We oppose provocative words and actions by any party in this region, and will not allow troublemaking on China's doorstep," he said on Saturday.
