Editor's Note:

In a most recent blogspot of "blueprint-news" I mentioned a surprising revelation on China's current attitude towards North Korea and which was made by some Chinese professor from Beijing's People's University, Chong Sho-Hu, in an interview with BBC Radio 4 only some days ago. That interview was quoted by different sources. As it came to my attention that the scholar's name used was a Korean language adaption, I tried to find out his Chinese name adaption which I can tell now is Cheng Xiao-He. From there it was possible to find a relation with another interview professor Cheng Xiao-He already granted one month earlier to the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy.

Podcast from the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy introducing People's University associate professor Cheng Xiao-He, Beijing, in an interview on the subject:

Will China Change Its Approach to North Korea ?.
The podcast was published by the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center on September 27, 2017.

据《朝鲜日报》日文版10月29日报道，中国科学院地质研究所人员在9月曾当面警告来访的朝鲜地质部门官员称，朝鲜核试验基地丰溪里已经难以承受新的核试验，如果还在该地区规划新的核试验，一旦实施，或引发山体崩塌的严重后果，还因此形成巨大的核辐射危害。

According to a South Korean news report, specialists from the geological research institute of China's Academy of Science should have informed their North Korean colleagues about considerable radiation risks when using existing North Korean test sites for another nuclear test.
