U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is in Beijing to push Chinese officials to do more to rein in North Korea's nuclear activities and decrease tensions over disputed parts of the South China Sea. Wrapping up an eight-day, around-the-world diplomatic mission Wednesday, Kerry was meeting with senior Chinese officials to press them to take a firmer stance in urging North Korea to end its nuclear testing. China is North Korea's main link to the outside world, and American officials say Beijing isn't doing enough to persuade North Korea to stop the tests and return to disarmament talks.
