China Warns US Over Missile Plans Against North Korea
China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei made the remarks on Monday during a daily news briefing, urging Washington to “act prudently.”
“All measures seeking to increase military capacities will only intensify antagonism and will not help to solve the problem,” Hong said.
“We hope that the relevant parties will… adopt a responsible attitude and deal with this issue in a cautious manner,” he also said, adding Beijing “has always sought to prevent missile proliferation.”
The remarks came after US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced plans on Friday to deploy 14 additional missile interceptors in Alaska, following North Korea’s threat to launch a “pre-emptive” nuclear strike against the US.
Hagel also said the US planned to increase missile facilities in Japan.
