UNITED FRONT..?"China Won't Block U.S. Security Council Action Against North Korea

China's President Hu Jintao did not say that his country would block U.N. Security Council action if the U.S. filed a resolution against North Korea for its expected rocket launch next week, a U.S. official said Wednesday.Hu and President Obama met Wednesday in London ahead of the G20 summit in their first face-to-face meeting since Obama became commander in chief. The two did not mention North Korea specifically, but Obama stressed the increasingly intertwined relationship of China and the United States."Our economic relationships are very strong. And I've said publicly, and I continue to believe, that the relationship between China and the United States is not only important for the citizens of both our countries, but will help to set the stage for how the world deals with a whole host of challenges in the years to come," he said."Sound China-U.S. relationship is not only in the fundamental interest of our two peoples and our two countries, but also contributes to peace, stability and prosperity in the Asian Pacific region and in the world at large," Hu said.North Korea last week warned the United Nations against taking any action for Pyongyang's launch, expected between April 4 and April 8, saying it would be considered a hostile action. North Korea claims that it is launching a satellite, but a senior administration official traveling with the president noted that the same technology is used for satellites as nuclear-tipped missiles.Obama made clear in talks with world leaders, including Hu, that the U.S. "is deeply concerned about the prospective missile launch," the official said.The official said any launch is provocative to the region and contrary to U.N. Security Council resolutions."There will be a reaction to it," the official said, noting that U.S. diplomats at the U.N. will discuss a response. The official added that the administration wants to see the six-party talks on continue. The U.S., South Korea, Japan, Russia and China are part of the six-party talks with North Korea attempting to keep the nation from developing nuclear weapons.Another senior administration official said that Obama and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev both "expressed their concern about developments" in North Korea as well as Iran during an earlier meeting.
