Joint Chiefs Chairman Says He’s Satisfied China Shares U.S. Concerns About North Korea -- Washington Post

BEIJING — Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Wednesday that he is leaving China with assurances that Chinese leaders are as concerned as the United States is about threats by North Korea and are working diligently to head off further provocations.

Chinese officials, however, provided no specifics on how they were conveying that message to Pyongyang, Dempsey acknowledged at a briefing with reporters after a series of meetings with top Chinese military leaders.

“Unlike sometimes the reports you would get that they’re less interested than they probably should be, or that we’d want to them to be, I leave here believing that they’re very interested in trying to contribute to stability on the [Korean] peninsula,” said Dempsey, who will continue his meetings with military leaders in Japan on Thursday.
