China backs North Korean call to revise sanctions to revive nuclear talks SCMP, 2 Oct 21,
Instead of empty slogans, US should restart UN resolutions and 'revise sanctions related to humanitarian aspects', Beijing says
Denuclearisation talks stalled in 2019 and Pyongyang has resumed its missile tests
China has backed North Korea's calls for the US to revise its sanctions to break the stalemate in denuclearisation talks.
Pyongyang resumed its missile tests last month after a six-month lull, the latest being a new hypersonic missile fired on Tuesday. It first fired a
nuclear-capable cruise missile on September 12, then followed up with two railway-borne ballistic missiles days later – in breach of UN Security Council resolutions.
