China fears conflict over North Korea

China has warned that "conflict could break out at any moment" as tension over North Korea increases. Beijing said if war occurred there could be no winner. Mr Wang's comments come as the United States voices increasing concern at North Korea's development of nuclear weapons, and deploys a Navy carrier group off the Korean peninsula. Dan Damon asked John Everard, a former British ambassador to Pyongyang, how he read the situation.
