Chinese paper says China should stay neutral if North Korea attacks first | Reuters

"BEIJING (Reuters) - If North Korea launches an attack that threatens the United States then China should stay neutral, but if the United States attacks first and tries to overthrow North Korea's government China will stop then, a Chinese state-run newspaper said on Friday."

'"China should also make clear that if North Korea launches missiles that threaten U.S. soil first and the U.S. retaliates, China will stay neutral," it added. '

'North Korea is a useful buffer state for China between it and U.S. forces based in South Korea, and also across the sea in Japan. ', "China, North Korea's most important ally and trading partner, has reiterated calls for calm during the current crisis."

'"If the U.S. and South Korea carry out strikes and try to overthrow the North Korean regime and change the political pattern of the Korean Peninsula, China will prevent them from doing so."'
