South Korea wants China to increase pressure on its old ally
China "will not protect" whoever sank a South Korean warship in March, Prime Minister Wen Jiabao has said.
"China objects to and condemns any act that destroys the peace and stability of the Korean peninsula," Mr Wen was quoted as saying after talks in Seoul.
South Korea has blamed the North for sinking the Cheonan with a torpedo.
Beijing is under pressure to take a strong stance against North Korea but so far has not accepted the findings of an independent investigation.

Taling is one thing but acting is something else. Up to this point China has refrained from criticizing North korea despite overwhelming evidence that a North Korean torpedo sank a South Korean ship over a month ago.
