Military means ‘not an option’
Print Edition
CHINA said yesterday that the North Korean nuclear issue should be resolved through dialogue, military means were not an option. Earlier, US President Donald Trump had warned North Korea that any US military option would be “devastating.”
Bellicose statements by Trump and North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un in recent weeks have created fears a miscalculation could lead to action with untold ramifications.
Speaking at a daily news briefing yesterday, foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said China has all along upheld the aim of the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and protecting the international nuclear non-proliferation system.
“At the same time we are resolute in working for the protection of the peninsula’s peace and stability and uphold a peaceful resolution for the nuclear issue via dialogue and consultation,” Lu said. “We have always believed that military means should not be an option to resolve the nuclear issue on the peninsula. Because arms cannot resolve the differences and can only cause a bigger disaster. No side can accept this.”
