The Chinese Premier, Wen Jiabao, is visiting South Korea amid continuing tension over the sinking - allegedly by North Korea - of a South Korean warship in March.

The issue is expected to dominate Mr Wen's talks on Friday with the South Korean President, Lee Myung-bak.

International investigators have blamed North Korea for sinking the warship.

But China has so far refused to join in the widespread condemnation of its old ally, Pyongyang.

The Chinese state news agency Xinhua quoted the Chinese ambassador to South Korea, Zhang Xinsen, as saying the visit would "strongly boost" ties between the two countries.

The BBC's correspondent in Seoul, John Sudworth, says however, that China is in an uncomfortable position.

Frustration

He says China's refusal, so far, to join the strong, international condemnation of North Korea is causing frustration in Seoul.

Korean propaganda fight Korean War armistice Q&A: Cheonan sinking Timeline: North Korean attacks

There are calls for China to come off the fence and choose between its old, cold war alliance with Pyongyang and its new role as a modern, global power.

Some news reports suggest that Mr Wen will, albeit subtly and carefully, move closer to the South Korean position on this visit, choosing a form of words that at least placates some of the anger.

But, our correspondent adds, China's priority is stability on its borders and it will be reluctant to sign up to anything it thinks will provoke its North Korean neighbour.

Since being accused of the torpedo strike on the South Korean ship, North Korea has said it will scrap an agreement aimed at preventing accidental naval clashes with South Korea.

It also warned of an immediate attack if the South's navy violated the disputed Yellow Sea borderline.

On Tuesday, North Korea announced it would sever all ties with the South.

The Yellow Sea was the site of deadly naval skirmishes in 1999 and 2002.

The two states are technically still at war after the Korean conflict ended without a peace treaty in 1953.

What will China be talking  with South Korea ??  Well, Beijing doesn't want to pull the plug on North Korea, But, it also offers sympathy and support to the South, a major trading partner,  Relations between the Koreas have worsened  sine a team of the international investigators concluded that Torpedo from a North Korean submarine tore apart a South Korean warship on March 26, Killing 46 sailors. and the North flatly denies involvement in the sinking of the Cheonan. and as of presentday, North and the South have technically remained at war sine the 1950-53 Korean war ended with an armistice rather than a peace treaty..

Today it is the 21 century and China economy is very good and The Chinese people want to enjoy their money and have a wonderful life and also their best Chinese costomers is the American. So why the China need to have war which will bring China to starve like in 1950 again. Soon and later China will be like Soviet Union and abandon the communism.

do we really allow nations to sink ships without sanctions? this will give them the idea that it is alright to commit dastardly acts and no one would bother punishing them. in a civilized world, "crime and punishment" should go together. there are consequences to your acts.
