In an apparent sign of growing frustration with North Korea, China took a rare, if thinly veiled, shot at its ally over the steadily escalating tension on the Korean peninsula.


But even with those harsh remarks, officials in the United States say China can and must do more to keep Pyongyang in check and soothe the bellicose rhetoric that have some fearful of an "accidental war."


In a significant statement, new Chinese President Xi Jinping said no country "should be allowed to throw a region and even the whole world into chaos for selfish gain." While not naming North Korea specifically, the comment is widely seen as directed toward Pyongyang.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi also voiced frustration, saying in a ministry statement that "we oppose provocative words and actions from any party in the region and do not allow troublemaking on China's doorstep."
