BEIJING — North Korean leader Kim Jong-il told a visiting Chinese delegation that the communist nation didn't plan to conduct additional nuclear tests, a news report said Friday.
Kim told Chinese envoy Tang Jiaxuan that "we have no plans for additional nuclear tests," Yonhap news agency reported, citing an unnamed diplomatic source in Beijing.
Kim also expressed regret about his country's nuclear test to the delegation and said Pyongyang would return to nuclear talks if Washington backs off from its financial sanctions, a South Korean newspaper reported Friday.

Wow that was quick!
Take away the gourmet food and fine wine and Kim~mini~me~Jong caves.
What a twerp.
LOL
You are quoting the policy of M.A.D.
It is our current policy, and the response will be tailored accordingly. Any attack response to any continent, automatically gets the rest involved. It's accepted policy, and this is why it works."
Yes this is known between Russia, China, Iran, No. Korea etc, but what has not been stated is that we will nuke China or Russia if North Korea or Iran uses a nuke directly or by terrorist proxy on us. It means they must be responsible for putting a leash on these countries like we do instead of helping them along...
I am not mocking you.
I concur.
Hi long time no see you posting.
I still have something you posted years ago in my fave news file.
"Ummmmmmm.....I beg to differ, but the reality is that nobody wins."
Yeah we in America know that but do the Russian's and Chinese? They certainly act like their is much to gain in causing global insecurity by assisting countries like North Korea and Iran go nuclear. Even if they do realize it, Iran and North Korea will change once they know longer need their sponsors.
If this story about Jong-il are to be believed, the only reasons he has regrets are because the test was a bust and North Korea doesn't have the intelligence to make a block buster nuclear test work. Or else it is because he really does like his foreign expensive brandy.
NOT SO TOUGH WITHOUT YOUR CAR! (Kindergarten Cop)
China is probable eyeing this area for a hostile takeover and Kim knows it. The westest European areas would probable celebrate it.
I read two prophecies lately: one that Kim would be killed, and another that N and S Korea will be united again. Interesting to see how this plays out.
If he does not relent, and come back to the table, or if another test is threatened, China will likely take him down without firing a shot.
I doubt they would stay long. Just enough time to replace the government and rearrange the deck chairs, and they would do this with American support, or at least without our standing in their way.
I think this would be the most likely outcome if he continues down this path, and I think he will. I also think this is the best course of action.
It's not very important to anyone else involved in this, and means little to us. Or should actually mean nothing as far as this situation is concerned..
They must have threatened to canel his Netflix subscription.
Calling all puppy meat vendors...shipment for Mr Ronery needs expediting.
Dittoes Johnny Walker Black.
Maybe the chinese spanked him. HARD.
He still can't be trusted.
Il Regrets.... Bush's fault... Let the Dems take contol America and Il will have not regrets as we wine him and dine him with Big Macs and French Fries....
The NK recipe for success:
Test Nuke so Iran can see what they'll be buying.
Get sanctioned as a result
Express regret to eliminate sanctions
Sell Nukes to Iran
Watch the $$$$ roll in
