China denies PNG shell is explosive, calls it wine bottle

China's embassy says a 32kg object seized at a Port Moresby wharf, reported as an artillery shell, is actually a shell-shaped wine bottle posing no danger. Four Chinese nationals were arrested after the device was found in a commercial container. Papua New Guinea police are still analysing the object, with results yet to be released.
