New York Times:

The Korean Peninsula is an international hotspot about which everyone is concerned, especially when the further development of nuclear weapons by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea recently has stoked up regional tension. In regard to this situation, if there are military conflicts or even wars on the peninsula, what will be the response of the Chinese army? Thank you.

Wu Qian:

This is a hypothetical question, and it is not appropriate to answer it here. I can say that China is committed to realizing denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, maintaining peace and stability on the peninsula, and settling the nuclear issue through dialogues and consultation in a peaceful manner. Thank you.

Hu Kaihong:

Today's press conference ends up here. Thank you all.
