"The United States and North Korea have been in a state of antagonism for more than half a century," Wang said. "Today, that the two countries' highest leaders can sit together and have equal talks, has important and positive meaning, and is creating a new history."At the ministry's daily briefing, spokesman Geng Shuang said China "welcomes and supports" the talks and that the United Nations Security Council's sanctions against the North could be suspended or lifted in accordance with the North's actions. "Sanctions are not an end," Geng said. "We believe the Security Council should make efforts to support the diplomat efforts at the present time."
