China seeks Russia's help to 'cool' North Korea situation
« on: April 15, 2017, 07:42:12 pm »
China is seeking Russia's help to cool surging tensions over Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions, the country's foreign minister has told his Moscow counterpart, after Beijing warned of possible conflict over North Korea.

Fears over the North's rogue weapons programme have soared in recent days, with a US naval strike force deployed near the Korean peninsula, while President Donald Trump has warned the threat "will be taken care of" and Pyongyang has vowed a "merciless" response to any provocation.

China -- the North's sole major ally and economic lifeline -- has warned that war over North Korea could break out "at any moment".

Carrot and stick? Good cop, bad cop?

China and Russia saying, "Cool it, pal. You're making them do crazy things."
