China urges US, North Korea to be 'cautious', ease tensions

China urged the United States and North Korea today to be "cautious" with their words and actions after the two sides stepped up their bellicose rhetoric over Pyongyang's weapons programme.
Responding to a question about North Korea threatening to fire missiles towards Guam and US President Donald Trump's tough warnings against Pyongyang, foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said in a statement that the two nations should seek to "ease tensions".
