The Australian: North Korea tensions at tipping point, China warns
China warned that tensions on the Korean peninsula have reached “tipping point” after North Korea fired a ballistic missile over Japan, but said the US and South Korea are partly to blame.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying urged all sides to avoid provocations and repeated Beijing’s call for the North to suspend missile tests in return for a halt to US-South Korean military exercises.
The situation is “now at a tipping point approaching a crisis. At the same time there is an opportunity to reopen peace talks,” Hua told a regular news briefing.

WNU Editor: It has been at a tipping point for a very long time .... the difference now is that the North Koreans are on the verge of having a missile capability that can reach the U.S., and they are making it very clear that they will use it if their demands are not met. This act alone has changed the geopolitical situation in the region, and quite frankly the Chinese have been incredibly slow to realise it.
They haven't been slow. .they just hope that the Norks get to fire of a few missiles, with likely one making it through the defense system, enough to change the world order into china's favour. And no, the US wouldn't invade north Korea afterwards. It would be a baren place for a long time until a clean up crew from China comes, land grabs it and uses it as a dumping ground for its own waste. I'm half kidding of course, but china plays this to get something out of it, on the back of the US, and the Norks
