China: dialogue only solution to Korean standoff
China is not going to take either side in the standoff on the Korean Peninsula, but says dialogue is the only way out as tensions mount between the two Koreas.
"China is against any actions that may undermine peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said at a regular press conference on Tuesday.
She reiterated calls for the resumption of the six-party talks on North Korea`s nuclear program.
North Korea`s shelling of the South`s Yeonpyeong Island in the Yellow Sea on November 23 killed four people and led both sides to the brink of war.
The North, China`s long-standing ally, has been under several UN Security Council sanctions over what the West fears may be efforts to build up a nuclear arsenal.
