CHINA PRESS: In response to U.S. President Donald Trump's tweet over the weekend
saying China is doing "nothing" to help denuclearize North Korea, Huanqiu.com, a
website associated with the official newspaper Global Times, said in a
commentary late Sunday night that Trump's remark was a "layman's comment." It is
unreasonable for Trump to blame China for the problem, and this remark should
not be seen as American policy. Trump's remark that "China could easily solve
the problem" is the kind of comment made by an outsider who has only limited
knowledge of the Korean problem. The U.S. is always trying to take charge in
solving the North Korean threat, Huanqiu said, adding that the United States
should respect China's proposals on the problem. China is the country paying the
highest cost to solve the problem, like the sanctions Beijing has already
imposed on North Korea. Washington has put Beijing in a bind on the Korean
Peninsula problem, especially with its deployment of the THAAD anti-missile
defense system in South Korea, which seriously threatens China's national
security, Huanqiu said. (Huanqiu.com)
