| Summary/Abstract |
The question of how strictly Beijing is adhering to its policy toward the Korean Peninsula remains relevant today. In the author's view. China's policy with regard to Korea has changed little, on the whole. Looking out for their own national interests, neither China nor Russia is offering any real support to either North or South Korea. This does not eliminate the potential for increased tension in relations between China and North Korea, where Beijing will attempt to tighten the leash while Pyongyang ensures that it has sufficient room to maneuver.
