Credit: Reuters/Jo Yong-Hak BEIJING (Reuters) - China said on Tuesday it was concerned about reports that a U.S. aircraft carrier may join a military exercise with South Korea amid a tense standoff with North Korea over the sinking of a warship from the South. World | China | South Korea | North Korea The South Korean corvette the Cheonan was sunk off the peninsula's west coast in March, killing 46 sailors. South Korea has blamed the North for sinking the Cheonan with a torpedo fired from a submarine, a charge the North denies. The United States and South Korea have since said they will hold a joint anti-submarine drill. [ID:nTOE64N00Y] Some news reports, including one in the Washington Post newspaper, have said Pentagon officials are considering sending an aircraft carrier to take part in the exercise in the Yellow Sea off South Korea's western coast. Seoul says an international inquiry showed there was no doubt North Korea sank the Cheonan but Beijing, North Korea's only real ally and benefactor, has reacted much more cautiously. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said he had seen the reports about the U.S. aircraft carrier joining the drill. "We're extremely concerned about these reports and will closely follow developments," he told a news conference. He said China was worried the show of naval force could unsettle the region. "Under current circumstances, all the parties concerned should exercise calm and restraint and do nothing to escalate tensions and harm the interests of countries in this region," Qin said. North Korea said the planned exercises were part of a "dangerous scheme to disturb the peace," the state news agency KCNA quoted a major daily as saying on Tuesday. "The situation of the Korean Peninsula is now at the crucial phase in which an all-out war may break out any moment. Therefore, the reckless joint military exercises projected under such a situation cannot be construed otherwise than a scenario to ignite another Korean war." China has resisted calls from Seoul, Washington and Tokyo to join in condemning Pyongyang over the Cheonan sinking, instead saying it needed to assess the competing claims. Qin repeated that position on Tuesday. Beijing has also been irked by U.S. navy ships engaging in surveillance in waters close to China's southern coast. (Reporting by Chris Buckley in Beijing and John Ruwitch in Seoul; Editing by Ron Popeski) World China South Korea North Korea Comments See All Comments (7) | Post Comment Jun 22, 2010 9:12am EDT China is concerned about the joint exercise, but is afraid to admit that it was a n. korean torpedo that sank the ship. yauco Report As Abusive Jun 22, 2010 9:15am EDT despite the acquiescence, asia already considers the US the primary instigator of tensions in the region. Most suspect the US sunk the ship and is accusing DPRK to justify military bases. US is playing into this characterization. US agressions in asia is over. only option is to leave with dignity. mockiavillian Report As Abusive Jun 22, 2010 9:32am EDT Seriously, you would have to be an idiot to believe the US sank a South Korean ship. Mockiavillian is either a North Korean stooge, or a truther. JimmyLeggz Report As Abusive Jun 22, 2010 9:39am EDT First off Mockivillian, you need to stop smoking that stuff. US aggression? Wake up. China has already seen an analyzed the evidence, that is why they are so completely silent on the results. Duh! Where the heck do you think those NK weapons come from? So NK can really do whatever they want to their neighbor, sink a ship, fire on a ship, lob shells, whatever and its ok? No repurcussions? Quit seeing a consipiracy everywhere you look or at least where the US is concerned. You need to get a life. Quark Report As Abusive Jun 22, 2010 10:22am EDT The Chinese are really just upset because any further conflict could be bad for Asian stocks. They also tend to dislike American ships so close to them, especially ones of such size and power (aircraft carrier). I have not read much into it, but it has always confused me why the Chinese continue to support North Korea. If the regime fell they would be getting North Koreans flooding into China, or they might, but it seems like they are just protecting an unruly child. As for US aggression and sinking a South Korean ship… that is possibly the stupidest thing posted on this site. The US likes to maintain its bases… ect… but we do nothing more extravagant than anyone else, say China. The difference is they talk the talk, but we walk the walk. SpecpolXXII Report As Abusive Jun 22, 2010 10:31am EDT China has a right to show its concern for military maneuvers close to its coastal regions. However, China has a responsibility to review and confirm the investigation conducted by the West and South Korea. China should be stomping down Pyongyang and telling Kim Jong-Il to act like a national leader and stop aggressive acts against South Korea. North Korea is the problem. China is the solution. finneganG Report As Abusive Jun 22, 2010 10:35am EDT “The situation of the Korean Peninsula is now at the crucial phase in which an all-out war may break out any moment. Therefore, the reckless joint military exercises projected under such a situation cannot be construed otherwise than a scenario to ignite another Korean war.” First of all the writer(s) really should make this statement abit clear to whom said it. A whole paragraph of quote? Second, how can you have, “Another Korean War.” when the first is still at hand? Last I heard they just agreed to stop shooting at each other.
