Ong, Russell (2006) China, US and the North Korean issue. Asia-Pacific Review, 13 (1). pp. 118-135. ISSN 1343-9006 (https://doi.org/10.1080/13439000600697712)

Abstract

This article explores the strategic interests of China and the US in the North Korean issue. It examines their different perceptions of North Korea. For China, North Korea is needed as a friendly buffer state as well as a political ally. As the lone superpower and lynchpin of international security, the US wants to stop unpredictable North Korea from further developing its nuclear capabilities. The article then explores the shared goal of both great powers in promoting stability on the Korean peninsula and in preventing nuclear proliferation. It is argued that the interplay of Sino–US security interests has a huge impact on the evolution of the North Korean issue.
