"The Chinese have enormous influence over [North Korea], ... and yet, ... they appear unwilling to use it. ... We appreciate Beijing's offer to propose an emergency six-party gathering, but ... we first need an appropriate basis for the resumption of talks. There is none, so long as North Korea persists in its illegal, ill-advised, and dangerous behavior. ... China has unique influence. Therefore, they bear unique responsibility. Now is the time for Beijing to step up to that responsibility."—Adm. Michael G. Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in Dec. 8 remarks to the press in Seoul, South Korea.
