Credit: Reuters/Jo Yong-Hak By Kim Do-gyun and Jo Yong-hak YEONPYEONG, South Korea | Sun Nov 28, 2010 8:35am EST YEONPYEONG, South Korea (Reuters) - China called for emergency talks on resolving a crisis on the Korean peninsula on Sunday, and Seoul and Tokyo said they would study the proposal, as the U.S. and South Korean militaries started a massive drill. Beijing's move to bring the two Koreas to the negotiating table comes after global pressure on China to take a more responsible role in the standoff and try to rein in ally Pyongyang. China made clear that the talks would not amount to a resumption of six-party disarmament discussions which North Korea walked out of two years ago and declared dead. South Korea said it would carefully consider China's suggestion. Both Beijing and Pyongyang have been pressing regional powers to return to talks, in some form or other, for the past few months, in a move analysts say is designed to extract concessions. China, which agreed with South Korea that the situation was "worrisome," suggested the emergency talks for December among North and South Korea, host China, the United States, Japan and Russia. It did not say whether Pyongyang had agreed to join. Japan was non-committal. "We want to respond cautiously while cooperating closely with South Korea and the United States," Kyodo news agency quoted Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Tetsuro Fukuyama as saying. Beijing has longstanding bonds with Pyongyang, and has sought to shield its small, poor neighbor from a backlash that China fears could draw an even more ferocious reaction from North Korea and dangerously destabilize the region. Critics in Washington and other capitals say China's approach amounts to coddling a dangerous nuclear-armed state. South Korea's marine commander on Saturday vowed "thousand-fold" revenge for the North Korean attack. North Korea said that if there had been civilian deaths, they were "very regrettable," but that South Korea should be blamed for using a human shield. It also said the United States should be blamed for "orchestrating" the whole sequence of events to justify sending an aircraft carrier to join the maritime maneuvers. Yonhap new agency in Seoul said North Korea, whose ailing leader, Kim Jong-il, is preparing to hand over power to his youngest son, had moved surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missiles to frontline areas, days after it shelled Yeonpyeong killing four people. The North's official KCNA news agency warned of retaliatory action if its territory is violated. South Korea's Defense Ministry told journalists to leave the island on Sunday because the situation was "bad." Many residents evacuated earlier said they did not want to return. In Seoul, life carried on normally for the city's more than 10 million residents, with downtown shopping districts jammed with people despite the freezing temperatures, and cafes decked with Christmas decorations doing brisk business. "I am worried, but not that worried that I need to stay at home," said Eunhye Kim, an usher showing people from a packed theater in the capital. "They don't really want to make war ... there's no gain for either side." PRESSURE ON CHINA 1 2 Next World China South Korea China Labor Unrest Comments See All Comments (6) | Post Comment Nov 28, 2010 8:56am EST Sure, we sit at the table and talk with the Chinese while we run military drills in the Sea of Japan. OrthoPraxis Report As Abusive Nov 28, 2010 9:56am EST The US and others don’t need to do engage in elaborate negotiations about North Korea. The burden is on China, and the Chinese know it is. We just need to keep global pressure focussed on China to bring North Korea into the 21st century under responsible and sane leadership. This is about as simple as foreign policy gets from the point of view of all but the most roguish governments. John-B Report As Abusive Nov 28, 2010 9:56am EST OK, China is proposing talks on North Korea – what is China going to offer? Let’s start by China working with SK, US, Jpn, others to reunite the peninsula and get rid of Kim’s regime. Then China can offer to quit illegally supplying the rest of the world with nuclear materials. Then China can offer to release all of its dissidents and others unfairly locked up in Chinese prisons. Then China can work to reduce tensions by scaling down it military together with other powers and get rid of nuclear weapons. If China were serious about this, they would do more than talk about “calm” on the Korean peninsula. Let’s face it, China is simply playing games and has no interest in resolving the crisis. marisa70394 Report As Abusive Nov 28, 2010 10:09am EST I don’t know why China wants to include the US in talks about NK. China doesn’t need the US in order to get NK to be a good neighbor. Ergo, China enjoys having NK playing the part of annoyance against the US. It is time for the US to tell China in no uncertain terms that there will be no talks with or about NK until NK has been pacified for at least 9 months and they prove that they (NK) are no longer a nuclear threat. Once this is done, the US should be willing to talk. bobvedari Report As Abusive Nov 28, 2010 10:14am EST China supports N Korea fully, and may even have launched the torpedo that sunk the S Korean ship killing S Korean sailors recently. The US and the west know this but are powerless in the equation. China continues to play the “Good Cop” with its “emergency talk” rhetoric about the current situation, and N Korea is quite happy to continue with its “Bad Cop” image in the N Korea /China partnership. The West should have surgically sorted out this issue in the early 90’s after the USSR collapsed and China was still finding it’s way. Its far to late now. China sickens me.
