Summary / Abstract (Note) | This chapter (Chapter 7 in The Survival of North Korea) provides a brief survey of China-North Korea relations, assesses China's objectives and actions, and raises policy issues for the United States. It finds that while Beijing maintains its military alliance and continues its substantial trade and economic assistance to Pyongyang, in recent years many Chinese and North Korean interests and goals have grown increasingly incompatible. In China, more and more officials and scholars appear to regard North Korea as more of a burden than a benefit. However, Beijing's shared interest with Pyongyang in preserving North Korean stability generally has trumped these other considerations. |
