Pyonyang has already condemned military war exercises between the U.S. and South Korea, saying that those naval maneuvers which are due to start on Sunday will bring Korea to the brink of war. It added that 'these military exercises between U.S. imperialists and their South Korean bellicose puppets are directed against North Korea'.
In the meantime, the Chinese have expressed concern over these exercises, and declared that it opposed any action that would undermine the stability of the Korean peninsula. Following North Korea's artillery shelling on Tuesday on South Korean Yeonpyeong Island. which left four dead and more than twenty injured, China was urging restraint. A Reuters report announced that Chinese foreign minister Yang Jiechi met with North Korean ambassador Ji Jae Ryong, and spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and South Korean Foreign Minister Kim Sung-hwan; he reiterated that all relevant parties should handle the matter 'responsibly'.
