DPRK plays a risky game that threatens the region

China Daily | Updated: 2016-01-07 08:28

The claim by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on Wednesday that it had successfully tested a miniaturized hydrogen bomb has sent shock waves across the world.

Naturally the claim, which came after a 4.9 magnitude quake was detected close to its nuclear test site at Punggye-ri, has sparked widespread criticism from the international community, because, if true, it was risky, irresponsible and reckless.

The Chinese government's stance is clear and consistent: It unequivocally opposes the test and nuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, as only denuclearization of the peninsula conforms to the region's shared interests in peace and stability. China's Foreign Ministry has "strongly urged" the DPRK to keep its promise on denuclearization and stop actions that will lead to the situation deteriorating.
