China UN envoy: Up to US, North Korea to ease tensions, not China

UNITED NATIONS - China's UN ambassador Liu Jieyi said on Monday that it is up to the United States and North Korea, not China, to try to reduce tensions and resume negotiations to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.
"They hold the primary responsibility to keep things moving, to start moving in the right direction, not China," Liu told a news conference to mark the end of China's July presidency of the UN Security Council.
"No matter how capable China is, China's efforts will not yield practical results because it depends on the two principal parties," he said.
