BEIJING - China and the United States have discussed warning North Korea
against conducting a nuclear test, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher
Hill said in Beijing on Wednesday.
Hill, speaking to reporters after meeting Wu Dawei, China's chief diplomat in
charge of negotiations with North Korea, said he had no clear information to
substantiate reports that Pyongyang might be preparing to test a nuclear device.
"We discussed the danger that the DPRK could take additional, provocative
steps," Hill said, referring to North Korea. "We talked about the need to make
very clear to the DPRK that this would be a very, very unwelcome development."
