U.S.， China united against N. Korea′s nuke development： Rice 수전 라이스 ″美中，

And ahead of the U.S.－China summit，... President Obama′s top security advisor has made it clear that Washington and Beijing are united in their opposition to North Korea′s nuclear ambitions. Here′s Han Da－eun with more. U.S. National Security Advisor Susan Rice says... neither the United States nor China will accept North Korea as a nuclear weapons state. Speaking to students at George Washington University on Monday，... Rice also reiterated that North Korea should stop developing weapons of mass destruction. She said the weapons threaten regional stability and the respective national security interests of the U.S. and China. ″China and the United States are equally united in demanding the complete and verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. We firmly oppose North Korea′s efforts to develop nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.″ Calling China ″a fulcrum of influence″ for North Korea，... Rice indirectly called on Beijing to play a more active role in steering Pyongyang away from its ′two－track′ development policy of nuclear weapons and the economy. ″This week′s meetings between President Obama and President Xi would be another opportunity to discuss how we can sharpen Pyongyang′s choices between having nuclear weapons and developing economically.″ Such remarks are garnering extra attention as they suggest Obama and Xi will send a strong message to North Korea，... specifically urging it to give up its two－track development policy. And as China′s North Korea policy has grown more ambiguous since Kim Jong－un came to power，... watchers say it′ll be interesting to see how far China is willing to go to rein in its long－time ally.
