Powell: China should take more active role in North Korean nuclear dispute 8y Christopher Torchia THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SEOUL, South Korea — China should take a more Wive role in urging North taa to abandon its nuclear flies, Secretary of State ft Powell said Sunday. Powell said in U.S. televi- ion appearances that he klleved there eventually vould be talks between Washington and Pyongyang, hut he said they should occur in a multilateral setting because the situation involved China, Russia, Japan, South Korea and other countries. “We should not let North Korea dictate the terms under which these conversations take place. I think there will ulti mately be conversations, but I Ihink other nations have a role to play,” Powell said on Fox Sunday News. Powell cited China, which has called for the denucleariza tion of the Korean Peninsula and is a traditional ally of North Korea. “They have considerable influence with North Korea,” Powell said. “Half their foreign aid goes to North Korea. Eighty percent of North Korea’s wherewithal, with respect to energy and eco nomic activity, comes from China. China has a role to play, and 1 hope China will play that role.” However, China’s ties with North Korea have waned over the years. Also, China likely is mindful that economic pressure on North Korea could send more destitute North Koreans across the border, leading to a humanitarian crisis on Chinese soil. The crisis over North Korea’s nuclear programs began in October when U.S. officials said North Korean officials admitted they had a clandestine nuclear weapons program. Washington and its allies then suspended oil shipments, and North Korea responded by taking steps to reactivate nuclear facilities frozen under a 1994 energy deal with the United States. Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld said in Munich, Germany, that most intelligence services know the North Koreans have “one or two nuclear weapons” and “they may have enough nuclear material to make an additional six to eight nuclear weapons” by May or June. On ABC’s “This Week,” Powell said it was important to involve other countries in any negotiated solution because North Korea had violated the 1994 deal with Washington. “And so we have to make sure we just don’t go down that path again, because we are worried about what they are doing,” he said. “We’re work ing with our friends and allies. And we are using the channels we have with North Korea.” South Korea wants Washington to open direct talks with North Korea as soon as possible. The board of the Vienna, Austria-based U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, will meet Wednesday to review the standoff with North Korea, raising the likelihood it will refer the dispute to the Security Council. The council could consider economic and politi cal sanctions. While President Bush believes the standoff can be resolved peacefully, he said Friday that “all options are on the table,” suggesting that Washington would consider military action. North Korea accuses the United States of inciting the current nuclear tension as a pretext to invade the commu nist county, and has warned of a “total war” that could devas tate both Koreas.
