Reuters: China denies rushing forces to border during Korean tensions
China did not rush reinforcements to its border with North Korea following a rise in tensions between the two Koreas last week, China's Defence Ministry said on Thursday, adding that its forces were in normal deployment.
Pictures circulated on Chinese websites over the weekend, which were picked up by some overseas Chinese newspapers, appeared to show the People's Liberation Army bringing in additional tanks to Yanbian, a Chinese border city.
Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said those reports were "untrue and completely hyped up".
