China proposes emergency meeting on Korea tensions

YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea – China tried Sunday to defuse tension over a recent North Korean attack on the South by proposing an emergency meeting in Beijing, hours after the U.S. and South Korea launched naval war games in a united show of force.
Beijing's top nuclear envoy called for an emergency meeting among the six nations involved in the stalled North Korean nuclear disarmament talks to calm tempers over North Korea's artillery barrage Tuesday that killed four people on South Korea's front-line island of Yeonpyeong.
Nuclear envoy Wu Dawei said in a statement issued in Beijing that the international community, particularly members of the six-party talks — the two Koreas, Japan, the U.S., China and Russia — were deeply concerned about recent developments. He called for a meeting of chief nuclear negotiations in China in early December.
However, it was unclear whether the proposal would be accepted. Seoul and Washington have resisted restarting the disarmament-for-aid talks until Pyongyang shows a concrete commitment to denuclearization.

    • The Chinese now have to shut up. They first asked us to remove our ships from the area - and we respectfully agreed to do so. Now with no other choice, the Americans sent their ships and China can't do anything about it. If they go out and publicly ask for the ships to be removed, they will only appear weak - because the United States is not going to back down.

      We need to call the North's bluff - they are a decrepit and degenerated regime with an underfed, and under-equipped million man cannon-fodder army armed with relics from the Korean War. They have no capability to launch their one or two nuclear warheads and they have a Jurassic economy.

      The Sunshine Policy failed and it is time to finally put an end to this 50-year old circus show with the North. It looks like the South Koreans have finally seen the logic in finally standing up to their demons and doing the right thing - which is to stand tough and not budge.

      Kim is a dictator and his regime should not be given space to breath. How many millions of people in North Korea have to continue to suffer under his Stalinist totalitarian dictatorship? And how many more artillery shellings, bombings, attacks, raids, and ship-sinkings is the South supposed to tolerate?

      I think it would not be that hard - it would be similar to the situation when the two Germanies united. The East was backward and economically stagnant and it was eventually successfully integrated into the new united country.

      It is never to early to unite a nation and people - and I am sure Koreans will always be ready to work with their countrymen for better - even after a devastating war.
