[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] The Chinese government, at a United Nations meeting, mentioned the North Korean nuclear issue and insisted that related countries must stop actions that escalate tensions on the Korean Peninsula, such as military exercises.

According to the website of the Chinese delegation to the United Nations, Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Geng Shuang said on the 5th (local time) at the UN General Assembly First Committee on Disarmament and International Security, "The international community is at a crossroads between suppressing countries with differing views or pursuing political solutions," expressing this view.

He proposed that activating the reversible clauses of the UN Security Council resolutions on North Korea, making necessary adjustments to humanitarian and livelihood-related regulations concerning North Korea, and creating a favorable atmosphere for resuming dialogue are ways to break the deadlock on the North Korean nuclear issue.

He also claimed, "The reason the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula remains deadlocked is that the reasonable concerns of related countries have not been addressed in a balanced and effective manner."

Deputy Representative Geng said, "The issue of regional (military) proliferation is not easily resolved at once. When mixed with geopolitical self-interests and hindered by hegemony, it becomes more complicated and harder to solve," mentioning Iran and Syria along with North Korea.

Furthermore, Deputy Representative Geng criticized the United States for forming the security alliance 'AUKUS' with the United Kingdom and Australia and deciding to support Australia with nuclear-powered submarine technology, saying, "The United States arbitrarily creates imaginary enemies and pursues an aggressive nuclear policy."

Meanwhile, the situation on the Korean Peninsula has rapidly frozen recently due to North Korea's missile launches and statements. As part of its five-year plan, North Korea conducted four test launches of new missiles last month alone, including long-range cruise missiles, 'train' launched ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, and surface-to-air missiles.
