The Latest: China urges North Korea not to launch missile
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/the-latest-report-says-north-may-be-readying-missile-launch/2017/09/04/8751a360-913a-11e7-8482-8dc9a7af29f9_story.htmlChina has warned North Korea against proceeding with its reported plans to launch another ballistic missile, saying it should not worsen tensions.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told reporters Monday that North Korea “must be very clear” that U.N. Security Council resolutions prohibit such activities.
South Korea’s Defense Ministry said Monday that North Korea appeared to be planning a future missile launch, possibly of an ICBM.
In Beijing, Geng said China hopes all parties, especially North Korea, “exercise restraint and refrain from further escalating tensions.”
Geng also said that China had lodged “stern representations” with the North Korean Embassy in Beijing after the North conducted its sixth nuclear test on Sunday.

Following U.S. warnings to North Korea of a “massive military response,” South Korea’s military on Monday fired missiles into the sea to simulate an attack on the North’s main nuclear test site a day after Pyongyang detonated its largest ever nuclear test explosion.
