China 'Would Lose Patience with N.Korea Over Nuke Test'
China will change its position on North Korea if the isolated nation carries out a third nuclear test, a Chinese academic predicted Wednesday. Chu Shulong, a professor at Tsinghua University, said Beijing "will work with the UN Security Council" on possible sanctions against the North.
Chu was speaking in a seminar hosted by the Kwanhun Club, a senior journalists fraternity. Chu added another nuclear test will also result in "China halting fuel and humanitarian aid to North Korea, and the strongest sanctions it has ever faced" from Beijing.
Prof. Zhu Feng of Beijing University, also speaking at the seminar, warned the North Korean regime is breaking up. "We don't know when the rupture in the North Korean regime will begin, but it has to face its eventual collapse," he said. "It's unlikely that the Kim Jong-un regime will last 20 years."
