Kerry to urge China to pressure North Korea
CNN ^ | 4/11/13 | Jill Dougherty

The Obama administration says China is increasingly frustrated by the provocative actions of North Korea and Secretary of State John Kerry will try to convince leaders in Beijing that Pyongyang is, as one senior administration official said, “putting China’s own interests at risk.”

Briefing reporters on Kerry’s plane as he flew from London to the first stop on his four-day Asian tour, that official and a senior State Department official said the administration is urging China to use its leverage with the North “otherwise it is very destabilizing.”

Specifically, the officials said the United States wants Beijing to “stop the money trail into North Korea” and to carry a strong message to the North that de-nuclearization of the Korean peninsula is China’s goal.

“We hear a growing tone of frustration … in official statements from the Chinese,” the administration official said. “China is increasingly concerned about the downstream effects of North Korea’s reckless pursuit of a nuclear missile capability and complications for China’s foreign strategic environment.”

Obama is a liar. China is NOT upset about the NORKS...they are PROBABLY enjoying the squirming the clown and lurch are doing.

We already know the clown was lying about the NORK's nuclear missile capability...

Now these punks want us to think John F Kerry who can served in Vietnam can persuade our creditor CHINA to help us??

Again, REAL journalists would point this out.....

I wonder if there is any country on this planet that is not laughing at us right now. You know for sure they are laughing as soon as they talk with Kerry.
