   welcome to an ABC news Yahoo! News special answering children's questions about North Korea . Who want to know from our youngest citizens what they think what they fear. And what they're curious about when they hear or read the news about North Korea the threats against America and the talk of war. Got a great group of students here from seventh graders to seniors in high school. They are Smart they are engaged they have been standing -- been talking about this in their classrooms and in their homes they've got a great panel of experts to answer their questions. As well ABC's chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz. Bob Woodruff who's in -- right now has also been in North Korea several times. Ross -- joined by general James Cartwright a retired four star general who served forty years in the Marines was also vice chairman. Of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and living here in the studio Donald Gregg for various ambassadors have create current chairman. Of the Korea society thanks to all of you. For joining us and -- I just wanna begin. We -- we've been in this standoff now for more than a week at least a week expecting some kind of a nuclear test from North Korea but it hasn't happened yet. And I -- wonder what's the latest thinking from US officials on whether the north is still going to test a missile and when it might happen. Well I I think we've been saying when it might happen for weeks now George and I think everybody expected that that was going to happen it would happen. Yesterday our time on the East Coast and that they. The anniversary of the birthday of the founder of North Korea . It didn't happen I think they really did think it was imminent yesterday. Now I think they are looking at what he's

What do you think China can do this kind of -- a lower the tensions in the rain and for and to Pyongyang. Massacre -- his perfect question for you I think. We have more in common with the Chinese in Chinese right now than most people think. Neither -- you know the Chinese want North Korea to become a full fledged nuclear power for the influence that would have particularly in Japan. Neither of us want to see any kind of fighting on the Korean Peninsula. And neither of us want to see a regime change that could create an awful lot of instability in North Korea . I think secretary Kerry. Had a very interest in visit to China and I think he came back with a feeling that we in the Chinese. Perhaps have more in common and an ability to work more closely together than we have in the past. Process -- here. -- to continue what he said about Thad Allen to know why just China disciplined North Korea so much. Bob Woodruff you didn't need to China several times North -- several times as well you want to take a crack at that answer. Other multiple reasons of course one minutes it's an ally that went long ago to. War the Korean War from 51 -- 53 so they've been together ever since it's also the most important one maybe for China is that. North Korea has been a buffer state between south South Korea where the United States is is is positions with 28000. Troops right here. That also they just don't want the fall apart they don't want -- this to have a huge effect on its economy in its population in China that. They are afraid to some degree that if if North Korea does. Have a disaster and falls apart that the people poured over the border. End to China so given all that they want to stay the way it is. In most ways that makes them friends -- they close friends who don't who dollars and and certainly North Korea though is. Is really not obeying China as much. As it did.
