China: North Korea Could Carry Out Fourth Nuclear Test -- Voice of America
BEIJING — A top military official in China says it is possible North Korea could carry out a fourth nuclear test.
Speaking at a news conference following meetings with his U.S. counterpart, General Fang Fenghui, the chief of the general staff of China’s army spoke of the need to re-start long-stalled talks with North Korea.
General Fang said China is firmly opposed to North Korea’s carrying out of nuclear tests, but added there is a possibility it could go forward with a fourth test.
He says, "As far as the Chinese side is concerned, we are willing to work actively with all sides to persuade North Korea to stop nuclear tests and to stop producing nuclear weapons. A nuclear-free peninsula is in the interest of all parties.”
