The Chinese government is resolutely opposed to the nuclear test by the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Chinese Foreign Ministry
said in a statement Monday.

According to a report by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA),
DPRK has conducted a successful underground nuclear test Monday.

"The DPRK ignored universal opposition of the international community and
flagrantly conducted the nuclear test on October 9. The Chinese
government is resolutely opposed to it," the statement said.

It said China strongly demands the DPRK live up to its commitment to
non-nuclearization on the Korean Peninsula, stop any activity that may
worsen the situation and return to the six-party talks.

It has been the firm, unshakable and consistent stance of the Chinese
government to realize non-nuclearization on the Korean Peninsula and
oppose proliferation of nuclear weapons, the statement said.

The Chinese government calls for calm response from all parties concerned
and urges them to stick to peaceful resolution of the issue through
consultations and dialogues, the statement said.

It said that maintaining peace and stability in the Northeast Asia region
conforms to the common interests of all parties concerned.

The nuclear test, the first of such performed by the DPRK, came about a
week after the country announced it would undertake an unprecedented
atomic test under the condition where safety is firmly guaranteed.

KCNA reported that there was no such danger as radioactive emission in
the test as it was carried out under a scientific consideration and with
careful calculation.

In a statement issued last Tuesday, the DPRK Foreign Ministry said the
country "will never use nuclear weapons first.".
