China has notified Korea that it will postpone a trilateral meeting of culture ministers with Japan scheduled for this month, Korea's Culture Ministry said on Thursday.
 
China did not give a reason for the postponement. Beijing and Tokyo have been locked in an escalating diplomatic dispute following a comment by Japan's prime minister about how Tokyo might react to a hypothetical Chinese attack on Taiwan.
