China Urges Emergency Talks Amid Tension Between Koreans


By ETHAN Markoff

CHINA NEWS - In response to international demand and the murkier situation between two Koreans countries, China has urged key nations to intervene in the current crisis over tension in Korea over the North's deadly shelling of a Southern island.

China proposed that the six nations who are involved in talks on North Korean nuclear disarmament, should discuss the Korean crisis and find a solution. The six nations are North Korea, South Korea, the US, China, Japan and Russia.

It is reported that tension between two countries remains high and South Korea in response announced joint military operation against North Korea along with the United States. China has condemned the action of North Korea but apprehensive about the joint exercise.

The six-party North Korea talks have been stalled since April 2009, and South Korea and the US urged North to first halt its nuclear program. According to some analysts, North Korean attack is an attempt to strengthen its position and force a resumption of the talks.
