China denounces North Korea nuclear test

China came out against the actions taken by North Korea.

China said on Monday it firmly opposed North Korea’s nuclear test, denouncing it as “brazen” in unusually strong language, and demanded Pyongyang stop any action that could worsen the situation.

China also urged North Korea to return to six-party talks it has hosted aimed at dismantling the North’s nuclear programmes. The talks, which have been stalled for nearly a year, also group South Korea, Japan, the United States and Russia.

This situation gives China the opportunity to become a responsible player on the world stage. This action by North Korea is a slap in the face of the Chinese. Hopefully the Chinese will work with the United States, Russia and the Japanese to come up with a strong, unified response.

Six powers agree to take next step on Iran

and other powers to address the issue of Iranian nukes:

The United States and five other major powers agreed Friday to take the next step toward imposing sanctions on Iran for failing to comply with a U.N. resolution to prevent it from subverting its nuclear energy program to develop a nuclear weapon, according to U.S. and European officials.

But in response to Russian and Chinese wariness about the impact and effectiveness of sanctions, the group also agreed to keep the door open to diplomacy, the officials said. The chief negotiator will remain available for talks if Iran chooses to come to the table and suspend its uranium enrichment program. As soon as Iran suspends enrichment, any U.N. sanctions would also be suspended, they said.
