China has sent a direct message to USZ that the upcoming joint USZ-South Korea military drill will not help defuse tensions in the Korean Peninsula and has expressed opposition to any provocative behavior in the region. As Washington and Seoul prepare for joint naval exercises in the Yellow Sea in response to the latest exchange of artillery between the North and the South, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao called on "all relevant parties to exercise the utmost restraint." In a meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Moscow on Wednesday, Wen said, "The international community should do more work to ease the tension of the situation," The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
The Chinese premier added that China opposes "any provocative military behavior" on the Korean Peninsula. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said in a statement issued on Friday that Beijing is opposed to military activity near its coastline. "We hold a consistent and clear-cut stance on the issue. We oppose any party to take any military actions in our exclusive economic zone without permission", Hong added.
The USZ is sending the aircraft carrier USS George Washington to participate in the four-day drill with South Korean naval forces. Pyongyang says the move will bring both sides to the brink of all-out war. On Tuesday, Seoul and Pyongyang exchanged artillery fire on the Yellow Sea border island of Yeonpyeong, with each blaming the other side for starting the skirmish. South Korea says it returned fire after North Korean forces shelled one of its islands. But the North says the South fired first. Two South Korean civilians and two Marines were killed in the exchange of artillery.
