China's position has always been clear-cut. The country stays committed to the long-held goal of denuclearization. China has been helping get all sides back to the track of resolving the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue via negotiations.
In March 2017, China proposes the "dual-track" approach and later puts forward "double suspension". The purpose is to advance denuclearization and promote peace mechanisms.
In February 2018, China says it hopes for early direct dialogue between the DPRK and the United States.
On March 9, Chinese President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, spoke by phone. Xi told Trump he hopes the US and the DPRK will start dialogue as soon as possible and strive for positive results.
On March 12, President Xi talks with Chung Eui-yong, national security advisor to South Korean President Moon Jae-in, in Beijing. Xi expresses his hope for substantial progress in denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula and normalization of relations.
And on March 25, DPRK leader Kim Jong Un begins an unofficial visit to China. Xi Jinping says China sticks to the goal of denuclearization, safeguarding peace and stability on the peninsula and solving problems through dialogue and consultation.
