According to Yonhap News Agency, South Korea and the United States recently reached a consensus to formulate guidelines for planning and using nuclear strategies by the middle of next year. Kim Tae-hyo, the first chief of South Korea's National Security Office, revealed that next year's South Korea-US joint military exercises will include a nuclear combat scenario. At the same time, North Korea sent a special plane to China. According to China's official news, on the 15th, China's Vice Minister Sun Weidong and North Korean Foreign Minister Pak Myung-ho held talks in Beijing, and on the 18th, Foreign Minister Wang Yi also met with Park Myung-ho. The two sides agreed to take the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the DPRK next year as an opportunity to deepen the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries and strengthen strategic communication. At present, the situation on the Korean Peninsula is becoming more and more tense, but the United States and China have different attitudes in dealing with the Korean Peninsula issue.
According to South Korea**, the guidelines for planning and using nuclear strategies will include the sharing of information on nuclear weapons, the consultation process in the event of a nuclear crisis, and the establishment of a channel for security dialogue between the leaders of the two countries. In addition, South Korea's senior ** said that next year's joint military exercises between South Korea and the United States will include a nuclear combat scenario. These specific contents show that the direction of ROK-US cooperation is to stimulate tensions on the Korean Peninsula and strengthen military collusion between the two sides. In particular, South Korea's emphasis on the nuclear nature of the ROK-U.S. alliance is actually a deterrent and counterattack against North Korea. Outwardly, North Korea has a nuclear **, while South Korea does not.
Therefore, in the face of tensions on the Korean Peninsula, South Korea has repeatedly emphasized the nuclear umbrella provided by the United States and the nuclear cooperation between South Korea and the United States, which is seen as a "reactive response." However, from the root cause, the formation of the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula was caused by the United States. Neighboring countries, including China, have pushed for negotiations and a resolution of the North Korean nuclear issue on more than one occasion, and North Korea has previously promised that North Korea will gradually denuclearize if the United States lifts sanctions against North Korea. But in the end, the United States temporarily reversed, and more than once. Since the 90s, the United States has abandoned North Korea at least twice, and the two sides have even reached agreements to jointly promote the process of denuclearization of North Korea. However, North Korea is gradually abandoning its nuclear weapons, and the United States is gradually abandoning sanctions against North Korea.
The U.S. rhetoric on the North Korean nuclear issue and its failure to deliver on its economic sanctions against the DPRK have exacerbated the aggravation of tensions on the peninsula. From a military point of view, the United States and South Korea have strengthened military cooperation and exerted military pressure on North Korea, leading to North Korea's intercontinental missile launches, military reconnaissance satellite launches, and the resumption of nuclear tests. In this case, American aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines docked in South Korea, aiming to occupy an "absolute advantage" over North Korea. For a country that has no other advantages in the face of pressure from South Korea and the United States, this is tantamount to canceling out the only bargaining chip that North Korea can use to play with the United States and South Korea, which North Korea cannot agree to. In stark contrast, cooperation between China and North Korea is more constructive.
China and the DPRK agreed to take the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the DPRK next year as an opportunity to deepen friendly and cooperative relations and strengthen strategic communication. The KCNA report specifically mentions that Pyongyang is gradually opening its borders to neighboring countries and resuming exchanges. The key to stabilizing the situation on the Korean Peninsula lies in developing the DPRK economy, and the cooperation between China and the DPRK is committed to resuming bilateral exchanges and providing a strong impetus for long-term stability and peace on the Korean Peninsula. China's actions are promoting long-term stability and peace on the Korean Peninsula, which also proves that China's responsible attitude towards Northeast Asian affairs stands in stark contrast to the sinister intentions of the United States. Rewritten: Northeast Asia under the China-North Korea Friendship Bridge illustrates the reality of the great power game.
With the close military cooperation between the United States and South Korea, the strategic communication between China and the DPRK and Russia and the DPRK has also been strengthened. This shows the fierce game situation in Northeast Asia, where the United States is trying to limit the development of China and Russia by provoking the situation on the Korean Peninsula. Therefore, China and Russia must strengthen strategic communication with each other and strengthen ties with North Korea. In other words, the United States is trying to hinder the development of China and Russia by creating tensions on the Korean Peninsula, and China and Russia are responding to the provocations of the United States and South Korea by strengthening strategic communication with North Korea. This is not only to strengthen North Korea's confidence in the United States, but also to make it a resolute response to the provocations of the United States and South Korea. If the United States and South Korea insist on stirring up tensions or even planning a nuclear war, China will certainly not sit idly by.
China and Russia have conducted joint naval exercises and conducted joint bomber patrols, which fully demonstrate their firm stance. In short, Northeast Asia is a matter for the Northeast Asian countries themselves, while the United States is an extraterritorial country. If they want to use South Korea and Japan as a fulcrum to disrupt the security situation in Northeast Asia, they must first obtain the consent of China and Russia. As long as China and Russia do not agree, the United States will get twice the result with half the effort if it wants to create trouble.
