China tells North Korea to STOP nuclear tests or risk DISASTER
CHINA has warned North Korea of the threat of a nuclear disaster if it tests another
H-bomb near its border.
The hermit kingdom has pushed the globe to the brink of World War 3 with a series of
nuclear tests near the Chinese border.
But China has told its communist neighbour it won't tolerate another nuclear explosion
there.
Chinese scientists fear North Korea's underground test site cannot take another blast.
They have warned Kim Jong-un's henchmen the next explosion could blow the top off
the mountain where the tests are carried out – spreading deadly radioactive material
across China.
The superpower held crisis talks with Kim's regime in a bid to avert a nuclear catastrophe.
All five on North Korea's nuclear tests have been carried out the Punggye-ri test
site, in Mount Mantap in the northwest of the country, which is about 50 miles from
China.
The last test, of a thermonuclear device up to 15 times more powerful than the bomb dropped
on Hiroshima in WW2, caused a 6.1-magnitude earthquake last month.
Two subsequent quakes – measuring 2.6 and 3.2 – sparked fears Kim had detonated more
devices.
But experts believe these were tunnels in the mountain – which the tubby tyrants'
military use to bury the bombs – collapsing.
The day after the September 3 H-bomb test, a senior Chinese nuclear scientist reportedly
warned another test could blow the top off the mountain.
The Chinese government then hauled a delegation of visiting North Korean officials before
its top rock boffins to warn them off another test on September 20.
Zhai Mingguo, a senior Chinese geologist who helped organise the meeting, said: "This
is a big, sophisticated problem requiring multiple, systematic approaches.
"Our [meeting] is only a part of [the efforts]."
The atmosphere a the crisis meeting was described as "reserved but friendly".
Interestingly, two days after the talks, North Korea announced plans for another H-bomb test
over the Pacific Ocean – rather than the Punggye-ri site.
This suggested the North was listening to its powerful ally's advice.
A researcher studying the radioactive risk from the North Korean nuclear programme at
Peking University said China could no longer tolerate another land-based explosion.
The researcher – who has not been named by the Chinese media – said: "China cannot
sit and wait until the site implodes.
"Our instruments can detect nuclear fallout when it arrives, but it will be too late by
then.
"There will be public panic and anger at the government for not taking action.
"Maybe the North Koreans themselves have realised that the site cannot take another
blow.
"If they still want to do it, they have to do it somewhere else."
Some reports coming out of North Korea suggest the military is moving its nuclear test site.
But a respected Washington think tank that monitors North Korea, 38 North, has warned
there is little chance of Kim's regime abandoning Punggye-ri.
