China issued 'last warning' to N. Korea over nukes: Chinese social media

China has sent a final warning to North Korea over its military provocations, according to unconfirmed rumors spreading widely on Chinese social media Tuesday.

Chinese news outlets have previously said Beijing could turn its back on Pyongyang if the latter conducted a sixth nuclear test. But the rumor that China has given North Korea a final warning has drawn particular interest from Weibo users.

The rumor cited the May issue of Hong Kong monthly news outlet Dong Xiang. It said a Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs junior minister invited Park Myung-ho, an official of North Korea, for a meeting.

China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the meeting and asked his junior to read aloud the warning to the North over the nuclear test. The memorandum mentioned that China will condemn strongly, pull back on all economic cooperation and even blockade North Korea if it conducted the test.

A Chinese netizen said: "Maybe the bond between the nations is not that strong as we thought. North Korea is completely surrounded by enemies now."

The Chinese government did not provide any explanation or correction to the rumor.

The Chinese will not deny the rumor. Meaning the government approves of the message getting out and they probably put it out there on purpose.

China Issues Unprecedented Warning To Citizens In North Korea: Return Home

The Korea Times reports that the embassy began sending the message on Apr. 20, five days before the North celebrated the 85th anniversary of the Korean People's Army with a show of military power, according to Radio Free Asia (a U.S.-based station specializes in North Korea).

The station cited a Korean-Chinese living in the North's capital, who said he left for China late last month after the embassy contacted him. He said he has been visiting China every two to three months but, after being told he should "stay in China for a while," left North Korea a month early.

But he said that most Korean-Chinese residents in Pyongyang were ignoring the message.

The city's "peaceful" atmosphere, despite the global crisis due to the state's threats involving missiles and nuclear tests, might have kept them unaware of the situation, he added.

The embassy's warning indicates that China is worried that the saber-rattling North and U.S. moves to destabilize the Kim Jong-un regime might affect Chinese citizens abroad.

Even if it's not in the works to seal the northern border and fully isolate them just spreading the meme that it's going to happen could hopefully rein the little nutcase back a bit.

Agreed.

Still, it'd be nice to see China go in and put a permanent end to the North Korean bullshit.

Or accidentally leave truckloads of AKs along the border. Where any one at all could just pick them up.

The Norks have now fired off a threat at China.

Earlier this morning we reported that according to Korea Times, China had allegedly sent North Korea what amount to a final warning over its military provocations. The rumor cited the May issue of Hong Kong monthly news outlet Dong Xiang. It said a Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs junior minister invited Park Myung-ho, an official of North Korea, for a meeting. China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the meeting and asked his junior to read aloud the warning to the North over the nuclear test. The memorandum mentioned that China will condemn strongly, pull back on all economic cooperation and even blockade North Korea if it conducted the test.

It didn’t take North Korea long to respond…

In an almost unprecedented criticism of China on Wednesday, North Korea’s state media said Chinese state media commentaries calling for tougher sanctions over Pyongyang’s nuclear program were undermining relations with Beijing and worsening tensions. As Reuters reports, a commentary carried by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) slammed China’s “insincerity and betrayal,” referring to recent commentaries in China’s People’s Daily and Global Times newspapers, which it said were “widely known as media speaking for the official stand of the Chinese party and government.”

The response was terse and aggressive…

“A string of absurd and reckless remarks are now heard from China every day only to render the present bad situation tenser.”


“China had better ponder over the grave consequences to be entailed by its reckless act of chopping down the pillar of the DPRK-China relations,”

The KCNA commentary charged that the Chinese articles had attempted to shift the blame to Pyongyang for “deteriorated relations” between China and North Korea and U.S. deployment of strategic assets to the region. It also accused China of “hyping up” damage caused by North Korean nuclear tests to China’s three northeastern provinces.

Chinese state media calls for North Korea to dismantle its nuclear program were “a wanton violation of the independent and legitimate rights, dignity and supreme interests” of North Korea and constituted “an undisguised threat to an honest-minded neighboring country which has a long history and tradition of friendship,” it said.

North Korea’s “media” responded by explaining that the nuclear program was needed for the “existence and development” of the country and “can never be changed nor shaken.”

The bottom line is that the window for threading a diplomatic solution, brokered by China, is closing rapidly…

“The DPRK will never beg for the maintenance of friendship with China.”

My 'state media' is better than your 'state media'...communist dick measuring.

[Sunnyways]

Time for another ultimatum, Mr Xi. It might help if you mean it this time.

Didn't seem to work.

Your coup theory could happen, have you advised Trump?

[Sunnyways]

China doesn't want to help. It's not going to make things tough for DPRK unless it is forced to.

Right now, I would be very concerned in Japan or SK. Trump is waffling and north of the border they get ever closer to an arsenal of nuclear missiles.

[herbie]

Fuck it. Let loose.
10,000 15,000 cruise missiles. Sink their whole navy. Shred their air force in it's hangars. Pummel Kim's palace to dust and all their missile sites and nuclear facilities.
Then go on Twitter and tell China that they should be thankful, Hillary would've done much worse.

[BRAH]

Fuck it, do what the Clinton Administration did for Kim's dad give the little fat bastard an autographed baseketball.
