You're referring to the recent development!
Yes, according to reports, China has urged North Korea not to launch a missile, amid growing tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
Here's a summary of the situation:
- On Monday, China's Foreign Ministry issued a statement urging North Korea to "refrain from taking any actions that could escalate tensions" on the Korean Peninsula.
- The statement came after North Korea announced that it was preparing to launch a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in response to joint military exercises between the United States and South Korea.
- The Chinese government has long been a key player in efforts to resolve the North Korean nuclear crisis, and has called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
- The United States and South Korea have also expressed concerns about the potential launch, with the US Defense Department saying that it would "take all necessary measures" to protect its allies and interests in the region.
- The situation remains tense, with North Korea's state media warning that any US or South Korean military action would be met with a "powerful nuclear counterattack".
It's worth noting that China has historically been a key player in North Korea's economy and has significant influence over the country. However, the relationship between the two countries has been strained in recent years, particularly over North Korea's nuclear program.
I hope that helps!
