China on Thursday voiced support for the United Nations' latest resolution on Pyongyang's nuclear test, saying it is "balanced."

In a statement, Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said, "China supports the UN Security Council's necessary and moderate response to the nuclear test of the North Korea."

The UN Security Council on Thursday passed unanimously Resolution 2094 on condemning the North Korea's third nuclear test, which took place on Feb. 12. The North Korea also conducted nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009.

The resolution demanded that North Korea not proceed with any further nuclear tests, give up any nuclear arms program and return to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

The resolution also urged peaceful, diplomatic and political resolution to the current situation and a resumption of the six-party talks.

Qin said the resolution reflects the international community's opposition to North Korea's nuclear test and promises to resolve the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue by peaceful means, while reaffirming the resumption of the six-party talks. "Overall, it is balanced."

He said it is in the fundamental interests of the international community to safeguard peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and northeast Asia.

China urged relevant parties to remain calm and restrained and refrain from taking any action that could escalate tensions, the spokesman said.

Qin called for all parties to stick to negotiations and seek denuclearization of the peninsula under the framework of the six-party talks and explore effective ways to attain lasting peace and stability in the region.

“….. Here is the prediction: China will turn North Korea loose soon. The alliance will dissolve, or become stale. There will be political upheaval in China. Not a coup and not a revolution. Within the inner circles of that which you call Chinese politics, there will be a re-evaluation of goals and monetary policy. Eventually, you will see a break with North Korea, allowing still another dictator to fall and unification to occur with the south. ….”

"... Media around the world also have been abuzz about North Korea’s nuclear test. Launching a missile is one thing, exploding a warhead is quite another, and that test was not nearly as effective as that country would like the world to think. However, like Iran, North Korea is considered “rogue” and a threat that could lead to a nuclear war.

You know that there will be no such war and no attempt to detonate a nuclear warhead in space will be successful, but few others know that. So how to reduce the perceived dire threat those two countries pose is on the world stage, and in the United States it is sharing the spotlight with gun violence. ..."
