Abstract

China had historically considered North Korea as a strategic asset and provided substantial aid to it. After North Korea conducted nuclear test in 2006, China has begun to regard North Korea as a strategic liability and supported UN sanctions against it. This policy, however, is limited by China’s practical concern about peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and its strategic concern about a US policy of containment against China.
