China hopes that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the United States can resume talks, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said Thursday at a news briefing. 

Hua made the remarks after the DPRK fired two unidentified projectiles into the sea earlier in the day. 

"We hope relevant parties will meet each other halfway and make positive efforts for the political settlement for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," noted Hua.
