China urges US and North Korea to ‘hit the brakes’ on threats
China has urged the United States and North Korea to "hit the brakes" on threatening words and work towards a peaceful resolution of a stand-off over Pyongyang's recent missile tests and threats to fire them towards Guam.
The dispute has also raised fears in South Korea, where a conservative political party called for the United States to bring back tactical nuclear weapons to the Korean Peninsula.
