South Korea not seeking embargo on North

---

BEIJING, June 8 (AFP): A top South Korean envoy arrived in China Tuesday to seek Beijing's support for a UN censure of North Korea over the sinking of a warship, but reaffirmed Seoul would not ask for new sanctions.
There would be "no practical benefits" to any new Security Council sanctions since such measures were already in place, Vice Foreign Minister Chun Yung-Woo told Yonhap news agency before departing for Beijing.
"But the council is the primary organisation responsible for maintaining international peace and stability," Chun said. "In the context of such responsibility, it needs to take measures over the Cheonan incident."
South Korea last week referred the attack to the council, after investigators from five countries concluded last month that a North Korean submarine sank the Cheonan warship in March with the loss of 46 lives.
The UN move sparked a furious response from the North, which denies involvement and has warned that the crisis could trigger all-out war.
Mass rallies were held in two provinces "to slash at the US imperialists and the Lee Myung-Bak group of traitors' anti-DPRK (North Korea) smear campaign", ruling party newspaper Rodong Sinmun said, referring to the South Korean president.
