China warns rising tension with NKorea could be disastrous

China's UN ambassador warned Monday that further escalation of already high tensions with North Korea risks getting out of control, "and the consequences would be disastrous."

 

Liu Jieyi expressed hope that key nations will be "more forthcoming" and support China's three-part package to de-escalate tensions -- revive negotiations and dialogue leading to denuclearization and peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.

 

He reiterated at a news conference that an important initial proposal in the package is "suspension for suspension," which would see North Korea halt nuclear and missile testing and the United States and South Korea stop military exercises.
