Q: U.S. Secretary of State Tillerson said on the North Korean nuclear issue a few days ago that only when North Korea stops all nuclear island tests can the United States consider further dialogue with North Korea. The United States has always indicated that its goal is to realize the nuclear-free Korean Peninsula, not to change the regime of North Korea, so the reason for North Korea to develop nuclear weapons is not valid. According to the report, this is in contrast to TI’s previous remarks that diplomatic efforts have failed. What is China’s comment on this? Do you welcome the US statement?

A: We have noticed that Secretary Tillerson made it clear publicly that the US side does not aim at changing the regime of North Korea.

Realizing the nuclear-free peninsula is also China’s proposition. To be precise, it is the consistent position of the Chinese government to realize the nuclear-free Korean Peninsula and maintain peace and stability on the peninsula through interlocution and negotiation. China welcomes and looks forward to the contact and dialogue between relevant square tube to enhance mutual understanding and trust, and hopes that all parties will seriously consider the “two-track parallel” idea and the “double suspension” initiative put forward by China from their own fundamental interests, jointly push the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue back to the track of negotiation and dialogue at an early date.
