Recently, the DPRK successfully launched a military reconnaissance satellite named "Wanli Jing-1," which has aroused widespread concern and controversy in the international community. The satellite was especially used to photograph the U.S. military, capturing places such as Andersen Air Force Base and Apra Harbor, as well as the U.S. military's Norfolk Naval Base, Hickham Air Force Base, Newport News Shipyard and airfield area in Virginia, and even the White House and the Pentagon. North Korea's move has aroused strong dissatisfaction and anger in the United States, and a Pentagon spokesman said that it could not confirm the authenticity of these **. In response to North Korea's move, the United States acted urgently and joined its allies in convening an extraordinary meeting of the United Nations Security Council to try to condemn North Korea's actions, but the meeting did not achieve any substantive results due to opposition from China and Russia.
However, to understand the complexity and key factors of the Korean Peninsula issue, it is necessary to look back at history. As early as 1994, the United States and the DPRK signed the DPRK-US Nuclear Agreed Agreement, in which the United States promised to help the DPRK build a light-water reactor, but the United States has repeatedly delayed and failed to fulfill its commitments. Since then, the United States has become more and more assertive in its policy toward North Korea, imposing a series of sanctions on North Korea, which has led to a deepening of North Korea's distrust of the United States. Despite the efforts of China, Russia and other countries, the parties have held several rounds of talks, but the United States has been unwilling to put on a posture of equal dialogue and has repeatedly used the United Nations to impose unilateral sanctions on the DPRK, which has led to an impasse in the negotiations. North Korea has made it clear that they will abandon their nuclear program only if the United States abandons sanctions and hostile policies toward North Korea. However, the United States seems to be more interested in destabilizing East Asia and taking the opportunity to demonstrate its sanctions capabilities than to actually resolve the Korean Peninsula issue.
This time, the United States used the UN Security Council to condemn the DPRK, in fact, it is an attempt to shift the responsibility for the Korean Peninsula issue to the DPRK and impose more sanctions on the DPRK. However, China and Russia have united against the position of Western countries, not in support of North Korea, but in opposition to hegemonism. As permanent members of the UN Security Council, the opposition of China and Russia has important influence, which also led to the failure of the meeting to achieve substantive results.
However, simple condemnations and sanctions will not solve the Korean Peninsula issue, but will only exacerbate tensions and deprive the two sides of the opportunity for dialogue. Now, countries such as the United States and South Korea are feeling the crisis, but the root cause of the crisis lies with themselves. Only by maintaining calm and carrying out dialogue and communication as soon as possible can we ease the tension of the situation, otherwise the situation on the peninsula will develop in an uncontrollable direction. China has always opposed the unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States on the DPRK and advocated resolving the issue through dialogue and consultation. As an editor, I also believe that resolving the Korean Peninsula issue through dialogue is the best way, and that all parties should actively seek to maintain regional peace and security through peace, stability and cooperation.
In short, the DPRK's launch of a military reconnaissance satellite and its special photographing of US military targets have aroused repercussions and concerns from the international community. The United States, angered by North Korea's actions, tried to use the United Nations Security Council to condemn North Korea, but China and Russia joined forces to oppose the move, making the condemnation inconclusive. However, in order to resolve the Korean Peninsula issue, it is far from enough to rely solely on sanctions and condemnation, and a solution must be sought through dialogue and consultation. All parties should remain calm and rational, aim at resolving the issue peacefully, promote the easing and stabilization of the situation on the Korean Peninsula, and achieve regional peace and security.
