What China Thinks About the Korean Thaw
China has responded positively to the developments, as one would expect. On March 6, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang issued a statement saying that” China always supports the efforts made by the DPRK and ROK to improve their relations,” referring to the formal names of North Korea (the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) and South Korea (the Republic of Korea). “We hope that all relevant parties can seize the current opportunity, work for the shared goal and make concerted efforts to promote the process of denuclearizing the Peninsula and politically resolving the Korean Peninsula issue,” Geng added.
