"CHINA yesterday denied media reports of a Chinese troop buildup along its border with North Korea and said all was well in the isolated communist state despite speculation about leader Kim Jong-il's hold on power.
A South Korea newspaper quoted sources in Washington saying satellite photos showed 10,000 Chinese troops preparing for deployment along the border and speculated they could be preparing in case of sudden political change in the North.
Deputy Foreign Minister Wu Dawei said: "Such reports are completely groundless. After reading these people will think it's true and this is extremely dangerous."
"The political situation is stable, the economy is developing. The leaders are engaged in reforms of the economy and living standards are improving considerably compared to before," he said.
