Tillerson said this to Fox News in an interview aired last night.<br/><br/>Tillerson told a news channel in an interview that the Chinese confirmed to the US that they had requested that the North Korean regime conduct no further nuclear test.

Admiral Harry Harris, Commander of the US Pacific Command, said China has the capability to influence in effect North Korean behavior for a number of reasons. North Korea, he said, remains the most immediate threat to the security of the US and its allies in Japan and Korea. He said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is making progress on his quest for nuclear weapons and all the nations need to take this threat seriously because North Korea's missiles point in all directions.<br/><br/>US has already sent aircraft carrier-led strike group to the Korean peninsula to step up pressure against North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un to refrain from developing a nuclear-tipped ballistic missile capable of reaching mainland US.
