The White House on Thursday called on China to rein in its North Korean allies in order to "stabilize" the alienated peninsula as the top bureaucrat in the US military returned from the region.
"China is in a place to have strong influence over the actions and the presentation of the North Koreans," White House press escritoire Robert Gibbs told reporters.
"It is our conviction that they should use their influence in that country to become stable the region," he added, when asked about a visit to the district by Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Mullen was predictable to brief US President Barack Obama about the trip, which came as part of a flurry of tactful activity aimed at reducing stress on the peninsula after a deadly North Korean attack last month.
