China has warned that “conflict could break out at any moment” as tension over North Korea increases. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said if war occurred there could be no winner. Wang’s comments come as the US voices increasing concern at North Korea’s development of nuclear weapons and deploys a Navy carrier group off the Korean peninsula. BBC reported that China, North Korea’s only backer, fears conflict could cause the regime to collapse and problems on its border. Adding to Chinese unease, President Donald Trump said on Thursday that “the problem of North Korea” would be “taken care of”. The North Korean military responded Friday by saying it would “mercilessly foil” any US provocation.
