China have their fingers crossed that the USA and North Korea will make strides forward to promote denuclearisation.

A foreign ministry spokeswoman said the country also hopes that steps will be taken to promote long-term peace and stability.

Hua Chunying made the comments on Wednesday after North Korea tested more short-range ballistic missiles.

It came despite ongoing efforts from the international community to reach a diplomatic solution to the situation.
