stated clearly that no unprovoked attack by the US on the DPRK would go unanswered. Here’s part of the statement which appeared in Chinese state media:</span><br class="">
<br class="">
<span style="font-family: inherit;" class="">“China should make it clear that if North Korea launches missiles that threaten U.S. soil first and the U.S. retaliates, China will stay neutral,” (but) “If the U.S. and South Korea carry out strikes and try to overthrow
the North Korean regime and change the political pattern of the Korean Peninsula, China will prevent them from doing so.”</span><br class="">
<br class="">
<span style="font-family: inherit;" class="">“China opposes both nuclear proliferation and war in the Korean Peninsula. It will not encourage any side to stir up military conflict, and will firmly resist any side which wants to change the status quo of the
areas where China’s interests are concerned.”</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
