Credit: Reuters/Jo Yong-Hak By Kim Do-gyun YEONPYEONG, South Korea | Sun Nov 28, 2010 1:52am EST YEONPYEONG, South Korea (Reuters) - North Korea has placed surface-to-surface missiles on launch pads in the Yellow Sea, Yonhap news agency reported on Sunday, as the United States and South Korea began military exercises and China said it would try to ensure peace. South Korean President Lee Myung-bak told a visiting Chinese delegation that Beijing, North Korea's only major ally which is traditionally reluctant to criticize the reclusive regime, should do more to help. China, which agreed with South Korea that the situation was "worrisome," would try to stop it deteriorating, the delegation responded, the presidential Blue House and Chinese media said. Yonhap also said North Korea had moved surface-to-air missiles to frontline areas, days after it shelled a tiny South Korean island killing four people. The North's official KCNA news agency warned of retaliatory action if its territory is violated. The Defense Ministry told journalists to leave the island, Yeonpyeong, because the situation was "bad." Many residents evacuated earlier said they did not want to return. "We will deliver a brutal military blow on any provocation which violates our territorial waters," KCNA said. Officials from South Korea's Defense Ministry and the joint chiefs said they could not comment on the Yonhap report. "It is impossible to confirm the report as it is classified as military secret," an official said. The exercises, in waters far south of the disputed maritime boundary, are being held in the face of opposition by China and threats of all-out war from North Korea. PRESSURE ON CHINA The chairman of North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly will visit China from Tuesday, the official Xinhua news agency said. Lee told Chinese State Councillor Dai Bingguo, who outranks Foreign Minister Yang Jiechie, that Beijing, with its growing international influence, should do more to help ensure peace. China has not taken sides in the conflict and declined to blame North Korea, unlike the United States, for the sinking of a South Korean naval vessel in March. "We ask that China make a contribution to peace on the Korean peninsula by taking a more fair and responsible position on South-North Korea ties," the presidential Blue House quoted Lee as telling Dai. "The Chinese side conveyed the message of condolences for the South Korean victims of the Yeonpyeong incident and said it would make efforts to prevent the situation from deteriorating for the sake of peace between the South and North," Lee's spokesman said. Lee said the attack on civilians, coming after the revelation of the North's highly uranium enrichment program, was a grave change in the situation. "Lee asked that China play a role in North-South ties to match its growing international stature at a time when the Cold War is over and we should be pursuing coexistence and peace in the 21st century," Lee's spokesman, Hong Sang-pyo, said. 1 2 Next World China South Korea North Korea China Labor Unrest Aerospace & Defense Comments See All Comments (33) | Post Comment Nov 27, 2010 8:13pm EST I do trust his judgement… Hella lot more than W’s. Nuff said. So…Are we going to sail West of the island and stick to our original plan despite China’s saber rattling? I sure hope so. justinmcc Report As Abusive Nov 27, 2010 8:19pm EST The idea that the Obama administration is “risking war” seems odd. That would seem to imply the administration is leading these events. The historical failing of Democratic administrations is that they tend to FOLLOW such events rather than LEAD them. My hope is not that Mr. Obama cease taking risks, but rather has the courage and foresight to stop a third world war before it starts. If that means a pre-emptive strike, then so be it. If that means talking turkey with the Chinese, then so be that also. The important thing here is to LEAD, not wait for things to happen. That’s what we hired him for. Szbignewski Report As Abusive Nov 27, 2010 8:22pm EST Fine! Another war has started. We will be passive spectators to bloodshed and death. Is there not a via media to settle the issues?If taking the guns at the slightest disturbance is the way out, then the world is going forward to a collapse. China and U.S should give a thought to reconciliation. meenas17 Report As Abusive Nov 27, 2010 8:33pm EST Major General, may I advise you not to shoot at North Korea direction, even though your shots land in open sea. Because North Korea will interpret that as a “provocation”. God bless you. Yamayoko Report As Abusive Nov 27, 2010 8:45pm EST I thought the Nobel Peace Price winner Obama is for peace rather than the “military excercises”. If there is a war between US and China, it would be MAD aka Mutually Assured Distruction. Since China has the one and only Wunderwaffe on earth, missiles capable of hitting moving targets, one would assume the the sinking of US carriers would escalate to full fledge nuke wars. As one chinese general said, China would take the first strike. In return, over a billion chinese would die and the total destruction east of Xian. It should not be difficult what would happen to US when chinese nukes hit. Peace to all. Damn war mongers around the globe. bkhjon Report As Abusive Nov 27, 2010 9:03pm EST In case you weren’t all jittery enough, consider this: Japan can become a major nuclear power in months, not years, months. They have delivery systems, they have a thriving nuclear economy. All they lack, so far, is the intention to fabricate warheads. If the USA does not eventually (perhaps soon) do something to put the threat from North Korean on a path toward resolution, one way or the other, either militarily or diplomatically, Japan WILL re-arm. Szbignewski Report As Abusive Nov 27, 2010 9:03pm EST Let’s not forget, US had invaded and occupied part of the China during the Opium war. China had never ever challenged US directly or indirectly, let alone occupying part of the US. I don’t think China and the Chinese would take one more crap from the US aggression. bkhjon Report As Abusive Nov 27, 2010 9:25pm EST The comment by “Nuff Said” is stupid. North Korea is provoking this. Obama has the right stuff to deal with it. paulstewart Report As Abusive Nov 27, 2010 9:33pm EST So N.Korea says before the exercise, “Don’t cross the DMZ.” The south fires right at the DMZ. N.Korea says it crossed the DMZ, S.Korea says “No, it didn’t cross the line.” So N. retaliates. I don’t really care if a massive world war breaks out. I know that may sound stupid to some, but I really don’t. However, if I were in charge of N.Korean security, and I had to respond to that situation, I would have done the exact same thing. kevAgainstUsury Report As Abusive See All Comments (33) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
