China won't allow chaos or war on Korean peninsula: Xi

This ought to be the basis for the issue being resolved. A Korean war would help no one, not NK, SK, Japan, the USA, Russia nor China. Yet lack of leadership might make it occur. I equally blame Bush and Obama by being so side tracked by Iraq, a war that should have never happened, we have left the Korea issue unsolved. the big powers should come together to de-arm the Korean Peninsula and have it be a neutral area for the next 50 years.[CN]

这就该成为解决问题的基本准则。朝鲜半岛战争对谁都没好处，于北韩、南韩、日本、俄国、中国，一概不利。但是领导者的缺位会招致战争的发生。我深深指责奥巴马和布什深陷伊拉克泥潭，那场战争就不该发生。我们也遗留着朝鲜问题没有解决。世界大国该联手一道解除朝鲜半岛武装，使其成为下半个世纪的中立区。

These are welcome words from President Xi although they are still incomplete and do not address China's primary problem. That is- because China feeds and heats the Kim regime and keeps it viable, if the DPRK initiates a threatened nuclear attack against the US or allies, does any thinking Chinese believe that they as enablers are immune from proportionate retaliation? Plans exist for this retaliation and in the event political pressure will require a proportionate response against the PRC. Nuclear weapons remain a great leveler for any perceived Chinese population advantage.[CN]

习主席说的这些话还算中听，尽管中国还不完善，没有提出中国的主要问题。那是因为 - 中国对金正恩政权软弱兼施，维持其生存。如果朝鲜真的对美国及其盟军发动核武器攻击，中国就真的以为他们能从朝鲜的报复中脱身而出吗？报复计划的存在，事件的政治压力需要中国采取适当的回应。核武器仍旧是保持中国人口优势的一大手段。

中国通过支援朝鲜使得冲突不断，他们这么做也有50年了。如果中国人真想和平，他们一开始就不会支持朝鲜。这篇文章不过迎合美国人口味罢了。中国有上千的枪手博客媒体来推进他们的霸权主义、钳制西藏、窃取东盟海上领土等议程。

Americans have been invading third world countries after WW2 for 71 years.[CN]

另一方面，

the Japan Foreign Ministry's annual budget for propagating its official views on history and territorial disputes was raised to 52 billion yen ($438 million) in 2015 from 2 billion yen in 2014 to "correct understanding by the international society," the Japan foreign ministry says.[CN]

日本外交部透露，日本外交部传播关于历史接领土争端的官方观点，所花费的年预算从2014年的20亿日元上升到了2015年的520亿日元（折合4亿3800万美金）来改变国际社会的认知。

LMAO as usual![CN]

我忍不住笑出声来...

What, does China expect the United States to just let North Korea get nuclear weapons and threaten to nuke the U.S. every week and do nothing because China says so. I just read a few days ago that trade between China and North Korea in March went up 25% while China tells the world that they will follow the sanctions against North Korea. All China does is trade with all countries that are under U.N. sanctions to boost their economy. The sad part for me anyway is that no matter who is the next U.S. President, they will not be strong enough when it comes to dealing with China and North Korea. I dont feel good whether its Hillary or Trump or Ted Cruz or Sanders or whoever.[CN]

什么鬼，中国就是希望美国放任朝鲜获得核武器，每周去恐吓一下美国，自己置身事外。中国自己就这么说的。几天我读了片报道说中朝三月的交易量上升了25%，同时中国告诉世界他们会遵循对朝鲜的处罚。中国常干这事：和所有联合国制裁的国家交易，振兴他们经济。对我来说不幸的是，无论谁是下一任总统，他们对付中国和朝鲜都强硬不起来。无论是希拉里、特朗普、泰德·布鲁兹、桑德斯谁都好。

This is such rubbish reporting. North Korea exists because China supports them with free food and fuel. They have kept the brutal, gulag loving regime in power because China loves the Korean peninsula divided so that it will not be a competitor to China. China Doesn't want the prosperous freedom loving regime of South Korea to succeed. They want South Korea to spend huge amounts of money to defend itself from the communists in the north who murder and torture people for political reasons, fleeing the country or being Christian. China tacitly supports this. China has brought chaos, mayhem and imperialist destruction to Asia for over 50 years. They illegally occupied Tibet and have brutally oppressed that nation and jailed 1/6 of the population for political reasons. China has fought a border war with Russia and Vietnam, in which Vietnam defeated the Chinese at Cao Phong. Now China claims the entire sea between the Philippines and Vietnam, which has many islands owned by the nearby nations. China's imperialist greed must be stopped by ASEAN, Japan, America, the EU and the United Nations. China claims Japanese territory so it can distract its people from the fact that most water is polluted, cancer is rife and the air so poisonous millions die. People forgot China stole part--the Aksai China area, to build a military highway,of India's Kashmir state and to this day claims a huge piece of northeastern India's Arunachal Pradesh state and areas of the Himalayas. China supported the Taleban by building a cell phone network and to this day supports Kun Sa's Wa State Army, which exports most, along with Afghanistan, of the world's heroin, with a cell phone network and has destabilized Myanmar by supporting guerrillas with APCs. China has already stolen, according to General Keith Alexander, trillions of dollars of U.S. military and industrial secrets--the largest theft in world history. China supports Russia, who is stealing Ukrainian territory as we speak with Russian special forces who have merely abandoned their fatigues in Russia. Both China and Russia are a dangerous threat to world stability and peace. China executes and tortures people based on slander and does it one a whim or political motive. Human rights are virtually non existent in China.

China has lost control over North Korea for a long time, because the regime continue to develop nuclear & ballistic missile technology despite years of threat from their only ally (China). Right now, China's promise and threats are a bit hollow, and their credibility is next to zero.[CN]

中国失去对朝鲜的控制已有好一段时间了。因为啊，尽管这么多年来一直受到来自他们唯一的盟友（中国）的威胁，他们的政权还是一如既往的发展核武和弹道导弹技术。

Where is nK getting the resources in metal and other raw materials to build these rockets? Not to mention the engineering and technological expertise needed? nK has only 3 land borders, the DMZ and ROK to the south and China and Russia to the north and neither of the two latter can be trusted not to engage in subterfuge.[CN]

朝鲜制造火箭的金属和原材料是哪里来的？更别说所需的工程师和技术专家了。朝鲜有三大边界地带，南边有大韩民国和非军事区，北方有中俄。可以相信后两者不会耍什么阴谋诡计。

This world is getting smaller and smaller due to population growth and better ways of communication. In a few or several hundred years, all countries will be united somewhat like the states of the United States are united. After all, in the universe we're all traveling on the same spaceship, are we not? We have to learn how to live together or perish.[CN]

随着人口增长和交流方式的层出不穷，世界变得越来越小了。几百年光景内，所有国家将会像美国州政府一样联合起来。毕竟在宇宙中我们都在同一艘宇宙飞船上，不是吗？我们要学会如何共存，要么就共同灭亡。

China puts up with North Korea carrying out weapons development and actively attacking south korea. This is all evidence of the Fact that China is not our ally and we should not be trading with China.

China perpetuates the whole conflict by supporting North Korea and has done so for 50 years. If China really cared about peace, they would not support North Korea to begin with. This article is just American pandering. China has thousands of paid bloggers to push their imperialist, Tibet kidnapping, ASEAN sea territory stealing agenda.

I've got news for China, there is chaos on the Korean peninsula now! If they don't think so, they are badly mistaken! North Korea is a disaster waiting to happen and the whole world knows it!

So when do they plan on actually doing anything to stop N.K.. As we are approaching the 5th or 6th attempt to launch a missile that will start a war, the situation becomes simpler, either China can take him out or we will.

One or two well placed cruise missile would make a tremendous difference.

It's one thing to be reckless with your military, which is bad enough but when you add the fact North Korea is accused of counterfeiting Chinese money, and A LOT of it then of course Xi Jinping will at least move "forces of stability" closer to North Korea. It's hard to believe leadership in North Korea would be stupid enough to anger China.

It would be most helpful if China would support a coup to remove the feral pygmy from power with someone more open to opening up. It could be a whole new market for them.

China will bide its time in dealing with North Korea because: Killing Un or fomenting a rebellion would result in North Koreans flooding into China to get food, etc., and the cost to rebuild the North would cost trillions. They would favor a unified Korea, so the U.S. would have no further reason to stage troops in their region.

I've read like a zillion articles about NK, Sk, China, the UN sanctions and all the test firing of rockets, but all I see is blah, blah,blah,blah and more blah .... do we really need to wait for Jaba Jung Un to fire a real nuke before this all has to end? I get the diplomatic thing, but before you know it we will be in reaction mode dealing with the fall out rather than be proactive and deal with the living...

It is extremely dangerous to force the US to conduct operations that need not be conducted if China were honoring International Law and Conventional norms of the sea.

China is doing nothing about North Korea developing Nuclear weapons. They are Liars and Murderers.

Wu's statement is a bunch of BS. He acts as though the US has only recently been sailing these waters, when in fact, the US has been sailing them regularly since WWII to keep the waters free for navigation. The Chinese need to remember who freed the South China Sea.....the U.S.A.
