She warned against deliberately inciting tensions, provoking confrontation, and exaggerating threats.

The two sides also agreed to reinforce the US security shield for South Korea in response to the nuclear-armed North’s missile tests.

On Thursday, Beijing slammed Washington’s action, saying it “ignores regional security and insists on exploiting the peninsula issue to create tension”.

Mao further said, “What the U.S. is doing … provokes confrontation between camps, undermines the nuclear non-proliferation regime and the strategic interests of other countries”.

She went on to say that U.S. moves, intensify tensions on the peninsula, undermine regional peace and stability, and contradict the goal of peninsula denuclearization.
