China from UN Security Council rostrum accused US of double standards over North Korea

The US side and a number of other states call for discussion on the DPRK nuclear issue, while avoiding fulfilling their own obligations in this area. It was during a meeting of the UN Security Council, said China’s deputy representative to the organization Dai Bing.The diplomat noted that Washington is involved in nuclear cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region, which goes against the objectives of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).”All parties should avoid double standards,” Dai Bing said.The Deputy Permanent Representative of China noted that the actions of the Americans and a number of actors are contributing to the proliferation of weapons-grade nuclear material. Such a “selective approach to nuclear non-proliferation” would have an impact on the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, Bean said, and would also seriously exacerbate the possibility of an outbreak of armed clashes in the region.
