China, for its part, has made clear that it does not intend to inspect cargo moving in and out of North Korea across their long common border to ensure it does not contain items prohibited by Resolution 1718. While China opposes North Korea’s pursuit of nuclear weapons, it is even more opposed to policies that could threaten the North’s stability and lead to massive refugee crossings into China or to a unified Korea with its capital in Seoul.
而中国则明确表明它不会对北朝鲜从它们漫长的共同边界线里进出的货物实行检查以确保这些货物不含有1718号决议所禁止的项目。中国反对北朝鲜寻求拥有核武器，但是它更加反对的是可能会威胁北朝鲜的稳定从而引发大批难民越境进入中国或者带来一个首都位于首尔的统一的韩国的政策。
