Defusing peninsula tension

China Daily | Updated: 2013-04-11 08:01

The situation on the Korean Peninsula is dangerous. The magnitude of the tensions is hair-raising, alarming its neighbors and drawing grave concerns from the rest of the world. Any miscalculation by any party in the tense standoff may prove disastrous, for itself and the region at large.

Since the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution on March 7 condemning the third nuclear test conducted by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Pyongyang has been ratcheting up its warmongering.

On Tuesday, the DPRK urged all foreigners in the Republic of Korea to evacuate, saying that the two countries are on the verge of a nuclear war. Earlier, it called for diplomats to leave Pyongyang by Wednesday, as it could not guarantee their safety. It is speculated that the country might conduct a missile test between April 10 and 15.
