The US and China Agree that Korean Peninsula Needs to Be Denuclearized

This is easier said than done:

China and the United States agreed that efforts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula should be “complete, verifiable and irreversible”, Chinese state media said on Saturday, reporting the results of high level talks in Washington this week.

“Both sides reaffirm that they will strive for the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula,” a consensus document released by the official Xinhua news agency said.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had said on Thursday that the United States pressed China to ramp up economic and political pressure on North Korea, during his meeting with top Chinese diplomats and defense chiefs.

China’s top diplomat Yang Jiechi and General Fang Fenghui met Tillerson and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis during the talks. Yang later met with U.S. President Donald Trump in the White House, where they also discussed North Korea, Xinhua reported.

The consensus document also highlighted the need to fully and strictly hold to U.N. Security Council resolutions and push for dialogue and negotiation, which has long been China’s position on the issue.  [Reuters]

The red Chinese Communist are all words very little action. The United States should leave South Korea since so many of their good citizens want us gone. Then the supreme leader Kim Jong Un can clean up the mess. South Korea full of leftist now including their President Moon. North Korea must over Joyed now. And the Red Chinese playing the con game with the United States.

Doug, thank you for your service; but please leave the insects out of recommendations for voluntary body functions. It’s unsanitary.

And, you might be wrong about Korea. They are not Western. And their group-think isn’t as straightforward as the press makes it out to be.
