Chinese Perspective on Recent Developments on the Korean Peninsula and Prospects for U.S.-China Relations”
[Global NK Interview] North Korea’s Provocations, the ROK-U.S. Summit, and China’s Policy for the Korean Peninsula

Professor Qingguo Jia (Peking University) discusses the Chinese perspective on North Korean nuclear provocations, the newly elected Yoon administration’s diplomatic strategies, and the way forward for U.S.-China relations. Dr. Jia interprets recent North Korean provocations as a response to sustained international sanctions. The Chinese government, he explains, is averse to these increased tensions and would prefer that the international community quell North Korea’s “insecurity,” perhaps by reevaluating the existing sanctions regime. Dr. Jia emphasizes that though there is great potential for cooperation between the U.S. and China, their present relationship is largely antagonistic and is likely to remain so in the near future.
