China hopes the Republic of Korea (ROK) will handle the submarine cooperation with the U.S. with prudence, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a press briefing in Beijing on Monday.
Lin made the remarks in response to a media inquiry regarding the ROK and the U.S., which will launch discussions next year on implementing agreements between their leaders about the ROK building nuclear-powered submarines, uranium enrichment, and other issues.
