China urges North Korea to stop its “wrong” actions. No radioactive material detected
China’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday urged North Korea to stop its “wrong” actions, after Pyongyang said it successfully tested an advanced hydrogen bomb.
UPDATE: China’s foreign ministry said on Monday it had lodged “solemn representations” with the North Korean embassy in Beijing over the North’s sixth and most powerful nuclear test.
North Korea is clear about China’s opposition to its nuclear tests, ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a regular briefing, adding that China upholds talks as the means to resolve the Korean peninsula issue.

The North said it tested an advanced hydrogen bomb for a long-range missile on Sunday, prompting a vow of “massive” military response from the United States if either it or its allies were threatened.
UPDATE: China’s Nuclear Safety Administration said on Monday it had detected no radioactive material along its border with North Korea following the North’s nuclear test on Sunday.
Monitoring stations at 14 locations across four provinces had shown no sign of impact to the environment or the Chinese public, the administration said in a statement on its website.
The ministry said in a statement on its website that China resolutely opposed and strongly condemned North Korea’s actions, and urged the country to respect U.N. Security Council resolutions.
