China Should Lean on North Korea to Abandon Nukes, U.S. Says
The United States on Wednesday said China must play a lead role in persuading North Korea to shutter its nuclear weapons program and cease unprovoked attacks on the South, the Yonhap News Agency reported (see GSN, April 13)."China remains North Korea's largest supplier of food and fuel, and China perhaps has more interaction with North Korea than any other country," U.S. Defense Department lead director for East Asia policy David Helvey told a Washington audience. "The [Chinese People's Liberation Army] appears to retain access and influence in North Korea's regime, and we would like for China to use these tools to great effect to support the international community's interest in the peaceful process of denuclearization of North Korea."
