Tensions on Tap: China's Warning to South Korea Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has urged South Korea not to take sides in the ongoing tensions between Beijing and Washington.
This comes after US President Donald Trump announced plans to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un later this year, a move met with skepticism by observers.
Wang's appeal to South Korea is rooted in Beijing's desire to address what it sees as the root causes of the tensions on the Korean peninsula: the US's "hostile" policy towards North Korea.
