Seoul slammed Beijing on Wednesday for saying North Korea has the correct to use nuclear power. "China show to have lost its discernment and logic of balance," a Foreign Ministry official said. "It's likely to talk about the correct to peaceful use of nuclear power for countries that are signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and experience International Atomic Energy Agency inspections. But neither is the case with the North, which withdraw from the NPT and expelled IAEA examiner," the official said. "China definitely understand this condition but is clouding the issue of the North's denuclearization."
A diplomatic source said, "The North has boast about its uranium enrichment since April previous year" and showed its uranium enrichment services to a visit U.S. expert last month. "Only now has it articulated willingness to admit IAEA inspection, claim that this will show how transparently it has developed the tools." But he said uranium enrichment itself "violates UN Security Council resolution banning nuclear actions" and a Sept. 19, 2005 statement of principles from six party nuclear talks stipulate that the North must give up its nuclear growth program.
"Tolerating the North's uranium enrichment is not an appropriate approach for China as a accountable big power," he added. Prof. Kim Heung-kyu of Sungshin Women's University said, "From China's viewpoint, South Korea went ahead with its plan to take out the artillery fire drill" on Yeonpyeong Island on Monday despite Chinese protests, "but the North broken up avoid the most horrible case scenario by refraining from violent the South again." He added this was clearly a slanted view of the disagreement.
