China urges 'peaceful' North Korea solution





    China's President Xi Jinping has called for a "peaceful" resolution to tensions over North Korea, in a phone conversation with US President Donald Trump, Chinese state media said.

   On Tuesday President Trump tweeted that the US was not afraid of acting alone on North Korea if China would not help.
Tensions have risen on the Korean peninsula after the dispatch of US warships to the region.
   North Korea reacted with anger, saying it would defend itself "powerfully".
President Xi and Trump had met in person just last weekend at a summit in Florida where they discussed North Korea.
    Their phone call took place this morning, according to Chinese media, but the White House has not released any details.
