Abstract

The People’s Republic of China and the Korean Peninsula. Contemporary threats to China’s security in the face of inter‑Korean tensions, nuclear risk, and U.S. involvement on the peninsula The People’s Republic of China’s political and military involvement in East Asia has increased in recent years, and tensions on the Korean Peninsula have affected China’s security. This article examines China’s security strategy in the region with a focus on the Korean Peninsula. It focuses on contemporary threats to China’s national security that may come from the Korean Peninsula. It aims to analyze three major issues that threaten Chinese security: North Korea’s nuclear program, the U.S. presence on the Korean Peninsula, and tensions in inter‑Korean relations. All of these threats are intertwined and implicate each other.
