Comment on "Xi warns against chaos in region" (China Daily, April 8)

With tensions in Northeast Asia running high, I appreciate President Xi Jinping's warning against chaos in the region. As an American living in Beijing, the threat of renewed armed conflict on the Korean Peninsula is alarming to me.

I am sure that the vast majority of people in China and the US both share these fears. An overriding concern is that China and the US both would be drawn into a conflict with horrendous results. It would be better if China and the US, along with other relevant countries, work together to avoid a human tragedy that the conflict would cause.
