North Korea ‘Not Our Responsibility,’ China Says

China has had enough of being asked to answer for North Korea’s actions. In a remarkably forceful statement, the country’s Foreign Ministry spokesman called for an end to what he called the “China responsibility theory.”

In his daily press conference on Tuesday, quoted by Reuters, spokesman Geng Shuang did not explicitly refer to anyone in particular, but it is difficult to think he was not speaking of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has been the most vocal in calling for China to intervene in North Korea.

"Recently, certain people, talking about the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, have been exaggerating and giving prominence to the so-called China responsibility theory," Geng said. "I think this either shows lack of a full, correct knowledge of the issue, or there are ulterior motives for it, trying to shift responsibility."

The issue of North Korea’s nuclear program is a regular feature of the daily press briefings, with Geng usually restating China’s position of abidance to the U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang while maintaining “normal economic exchanges and trade” with the country.

Too bad they didn’t feel that way in October of 1950.

You (the Chinese) may not feel it’s your responsibility, but it is your problem. Mr. Trump is going to make darned sure of it.

Simple fact of the matter is North Korea exists because China exists. China is the only nation substantially supporting its non existent economy. Just issue an executive order that any nation trading with North Korea will immediately be precluded from trading with the US until the trade ceases, That means you China.

Not China’s responsibility? Then why so many Chinese soldiers along China’s border with North Korea?

Wonder if it’s China’s way of saying to us, “Do what you gotta do!”

I'm sure China won't mind if the US stops doing business with Chinese companies that support the NorKo regime. After all, the US doesn't want to be responsible for indirectly providing resources to a country with which we may engage in conflict.
