He said China is willing to continue to play a constructive role to that end, but warned of the dangers of the situation. &lsquo;As for the likelihood of war, even a one percent possibility of war breaking out is not acceptable,&rsquo; Wang Yi said. &lsquo;The Korean Peninsula is not the Middle East.

Although U.S. President Donald Trump and his government did blast the DPRK for its nuclear program and ballistic missiles, and although the DPRK fought back with strong words and actions, there are still encouraging signs. In recent days, the DPRK hasn&rsquo;t conducted any new nuclear tests. And on April 26, the U.S. secretary of state, secretary of defense and director of national intelligence made a joint statement, claiming that negotiation is still on the table.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Tillerson&rsquo;s words at the UN Security Council session show that the issue is no longer whether the US is prepared to talk to North Korea &ndash; as I have discussed previously, his words clearly show that he realises<a href=\"http:\/\/theduran.com\/tillerson-negotiations-north-korea\/\"> the US has no choice but to do so<\/a> &ndash; but rather the Trump administration&rsquo;s need after all its bragging and bellicose talk of the last few weeks for some fig-leaf in the form of sanctions from China in order to save face before it does so.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>It seems that the Chinese &ndash; furious at being pressured by the US, and at having President Xi Jinping&rsquo;s words continuously misrepresented by the Trump administration &ndash; are for the moment in no mood to provide this fig-leaf.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>As for the North Koreans, the fact that they sense that the advantage has passed to them is shown by one telling fact: their ambassador &ndash; obviously by pre-arrangement with the Chinese &ndash; didn&rsquo;t bother to turn up to the UN Security Council session today.  With China&rsquo;s support for North Korea hardening, the North Koreans obviously decided that his presence at the session wasn&rsquo;t needed, and that his presence would only cause embarrassment to their Chinese ally.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><h4>Alexander Mercouris<\/h4><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Chine a mis un tigre dans son moteur Les USA ont r\u00e9ussi un exploit significatif : faire sortir la Chine de ses gonds, c&rsquo;est-\u00e0-dire de son habituelle position d&rsquo;apaisement assortie d&rsquo;un sourire \u00e9nigmatique.
