CHINA'S COMMITMENTChina's Global Times newspaper retorted that the nuclear-armed North was in the grip of "some form of irrational logic" over its weapons programmes. Geng, however, also said China was "firmly committed" to the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula through dialogue and consultation. North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has yet to visit Beijing, more than five years after taking power. KCNA regularly carries vivid denunciations of the US, Japan, and the South Korean authorities, but it is rare for it to turn its ire on China. Beijing "should also make Pyongyang aware that it will react in unprecedented fashion if Pyongyang conducts another nuclear test", it said.
