North Korea-US tension is growing. China says it is seriously concerned about North Korean and missile development. North Korea's vice-foreign minister told the BBC Pyongyang would continue to
test missiles and would launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike if it thought the US was planning an attack.
There has been heated rhetoric from both sides in recent days. US Vice-President Mike Pence, who has been visiting the region, warned the North not to test Washington and said the US "era of strategic patience" with Pyongyang was over.
"China is unswerving in its commitment to realizing the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula, maintaining the peace and stability of the Korean peninsula, and continue to solve matters through dialogue and negotiations."
"If the US is planning a military attack against us, we will react with a nuclear pre-emptive strike by our own style and method," Vice-Foreign Minister Han Song-ryol told the BBC on Monday.
