Use of Force
United Nations

China and Russia introduced a draft resolution on North Korea in the Security Council which covers many of the same demands that the Japanese draft did, but which does not resort to Chapter VII or propose sanctions against North Korea for non-compliance. Chinese ambassador to the UN also confirmed that he would veto the Japanese resolution if it were put to a vote. Meanwhile, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman criticised the Japanese threat of a pre-emptive strike against North Korean missile bases as "pouring oil on fire" and "extremely irresponsible and incomprehensible."
