BEIJING, May 26 (Yonhap) — China’s defense ministry said Tuesday that the Korean Peninsula is facing “instability and uncertainty” as it issued a White Paper on its military strategy.

“The Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia are shrouded in instability and uncertainty,” the Chinese ministry said in the paper about its national security situation.

The paper comes as North Korea claimed it has advanced its nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities.
