China expresses regret at North Korea restarting nuclear plant

[Jessica12]

China's Foreign Ministry expressed regret that North Korea will restart all nuclear facilities, including its shuttered Yongbyon nuclear reactor. Tensions on the peninsula have soared in recent days, with Pyongyang on Friday ordering missile units to standby, hours after nuclear-capable US B-2 stealth bombers were deployed in US joint military drills with South Korea. North Korea has said it will reopen its nuclear facilities amid war rhetoric against South Korea and United States.

North Korea believes that if it possesses nuclear weapons, all their problems would be solved. They are very wrong. North Korea develops nuclear weapons, all the neighboring countries would develop nuclear weapons in reaction. Ultimately, everybody would have nuclear weapons, and North Korea would lose its asymmetric advantage. Then, North Korea would have nothing to leverage their positions.
