China expressed regret for North Korea's insistence on its launch based on ballistic missile technology amid international opposition, a foreign ministry spokesperson said on Sunday.

Hua Chunying, spokesperson of China's foreign ministry, said that China has noted the satellite launch and reactions from different ends. China believes that North Korea should have its rights to peacefully exploit the universe, which, however, has been put under restriction under the UN Security Council resolution. 

China hopes that all countries stay calm and act carefully and not to take actions that may escalate the tension on the peninsula, Hua said, calling to resume contact and reopen dialogues to seek a way to peace and stability of the peninsula, according to the foreign ministry website.
