Joe McDonald: China Pressures North Korea for Talks

From AP, via the Washington Post:

Chinese President Hu Jintao on Wednesday stepped up pressure on North Korea to return to nuclear talks, telling its visiting premier that dialogue is the only way to settle the dispute…

Hu told Pak that “dialogue is the only correct choice for peacefully resolving the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula,” Xinhua said. It added that Hu promised to see that Pyongyang’s “rational concerns” were resolved – a reference to the North’s demands for security guarantees if it gives up trying to make nuclear weapons.
