United Nations (United States) (AFP) - China's UN ambassador on Monday warned of "disastrous" consequences if world powers fail to find a way to ease tensions with North Korea which he said could "get out of control".
Ambassador Liu Jieyi made the remarks a day after US President Donald Trump spoke by phone with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on the threat posed by North Korea's missile and nuclear tests.
"Currently tensions are high and we certainly would like to see a de-escalation," Liu told a news conference at UN headquarters as China takes over the Security Council presidency in July.
"If tension only goes up... then sooner or later it will get out of control and the consequences would be disastrous," he said.
China is pushing for talks on dismantling North Korea's nuclear program after its ally carried out two nuclear tests last year and a series of ballistic missile tests.

folk china. Take Kim young One out
Fat boy needs to go to bed one night and find a hand-grenade under his pillow (with the pin still in it) with a note that says “Kim, Please be reasonable- First Warning”
How about NK shuts the F up and stands the F down.
...and F you and your "disastrous consequences" too China.
Add to that the undeniable fact that the radiation would spill into their territory....BIG TIME!.
IOW,China had better get off her a$$ and do something.Refusal to do so would cost *them*
China is pis8ed about us being in relationship with Taiwan.
I’m sure they have our best interests at heart, let’s listen. s/
Sounds more like a threat than a warning.
They’re not allies in the way they were allies in 1953. China has much more to lose from a war than the DPRK does.
You're dreaming if you think he has the capacity to be reasonable. 8>)
I always thought a missile strike on the USS Pueblo would be a great message. It is ours, after all. We’d only be conducting weapons tests on an obsolete USN vessel. Let ‘em whine.
Who isn’t allies like they were in ‘53?
To update Cicero, “How long, China, will you go on abusing our patience?” Against Catiline (63 B.C)
So are they enrolled now in the Schumer School of crocodile tears and bad acting? Bad Red Chinese Ballet from SNL comes to mind (note the hint of Yankee imperialism)
Or we should send Fat Boy a note saying “We’re coming to get the Pueblo... stay out of our way”
Start applying a tariff on Chinese imports. Watch NK problem disappear.
They put a 500% tariff on our goods. There is absolutely no reason we shouldn’t start with 10% of that, i.e, 50%.
Diplomacy is leverage. We have all of it.
PRNK (Or anyone else for that matter) only has to get a workable SHORT RANGE nuclear tipped missile and sail it up close to Hawaii or the west coast on an old fishing boat. Not too far fetched a possibility.
If you like your Three Gorges dam you can keep your Three Gorges dam.
Why bother with the missile part? Just put it in a third-party-flagged freighter and sail it into the US harbor of your choice.
