'China planning to secure North Korea's N-arsenal'
2008-01-09
China has contingency plans to dispatch troops into North Korea and secure nuclear weapons in the event of instability in the hardline communist state, according to US experts who have talked to Chinese military researchers.

Any intervention by Beijing would be done as far as possible after consultations with the United Nations, but unilateral action was not ruled out, the experts said in a report published on the websites of two US think tanks. “If deemed necessary, PLA troops would be dispatched into North Korea,” the report said, referring to the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

“China’s strong preference is to receive formal authorization and coordinate closely with the UN in such an endeavor,” it said.
