China calls on countries to be 'more practical' for a breakthrough with North Korea as Beijing scraps US-drafted UN Security Council joint statement condemning North Korea's unprecedented missile launches
US had proposed a statement decrying those launches, but China and Russia, along with other nations, refused to sign on to it.
Washington had proposed a statement on Friday decrying those launches, but China and Russia, along with other nations, refused to sign on to it, the diplomats told AFP. The Chinese official noted that as a result of former US president Donald Trump's policy on North Korea, Pyongyang had suspended nuclear tests and international ballistic missile launches.
"At least we are doing something to facilitate further improvement and avoiding the escalation of the tension," Zhang said.After the meeting, the US envoy to the world body, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said the Chinese-Russian proposal to ease sanctions would effectively reward North Korea for what she called "bad behavior."
The other seven Council members — China, Gabon, Ghana, India, Kenya, Mexico and Russia — refused to sign on. The statement also called out the other members of the Security Council, saying the "cost of the Council’s ongoing silence is too high."
