S. Korea Calls for Chinese Help to Punish North Korea

South Korea's president is calling for Chinese help to launch what she calls the "strongest" international sanctions on North Korea over its recent nuclear test.

President Park Geun-hye also told a news conference that South Korea will continue the propaganda broadcasts into North Korea that her government resumed in retaliation for the North's bomb test.

Park's comments Wednesday come amid a continuing standoff on the Korean Peninsula.

Both Koreas are piping propaganda meant to undermine the other across their shared border, the world's most heavily armed.

A nuclear capable U.S. B-52 flew close to North Korea over the weekend in a show of force meant to underline America's alliance with the South.
