The Chinese side has always advocated for a balanced resolution of the reasonable concerns of all parties. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will discuss the Korean Peninsula issue. Wang Wenbin | Question | Ministry of Foreign Affairs
On June 6th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin presided over a regular press conference.
A reporter asked, according to reports, China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Geng Shuang, criticized the Washington Declaration of the United States and South Korea for strengthening "extended deterrence" and promoting denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, which goes against the goal. The senior official of the South Korean Embassy in China stated on the 5th that China should not only attach importance to North Korea's legitimate security concerns, but also consider South Korea's legitimate security concerns. The South Korean side will continue to urge China to play a "role in compliance with international norms" in achieving denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. What is China's comment on this?
Wang Wenbin's information chart shows that China has repeatedly expressed its position on the Washington Declaration and "extended deterrence.". We have always opposed the small circles of provocative military exercises and pressure confrontations carried out by relevant parties around the peninsula. These practices are filled with Cold War thinking, intensify conflicts among all parties, and intensify regional tensions, which are not conducive to resolving conflicts and enhancing mutual trust.

Wang Wenbin emphasized that on the issue of the Korean Peninsula, China has always decided its position based on the right and wrong of the matter itself, advocating for a balanced resolution of the reasonable concerns of all parties, and there is no need to only focus on the concerns of one party. China has always been an active promoter of the political resolution of the Korean Peninsula issue, playing an important and constructive role, which is evident to the international community. We will continue to play our due role in accordance with our consistent position.
