Military drills cloud Korean Peninsula

By Wang Hui (China Daily) Updated: 2013-10-24 07:12

This new pressure on Pyongyang by the US and its allies may ignite a vicious circle of retaliation. Under such circumstances, it is significant that Chinese experts attending a forum held last week in Dalian, Liaoning province, tried to drive home the message that cooperation and negotiations are the only way to building peace and stability on the peninsula.

It is beyond doubt that China has a stake in a stable peninsula. Pyongyang's pursuit of a nuclear power status threatens the interests of countries in the region, including those of China. The crux of the matter now lies in how to persuade Pyongyang into giving up its dangerous ambition.

Experience tells us military pressure and confrontation would be to little avail but only push Pyongyang to take an even harder line. That may well explain that experts attending the Dalian Forum, sponsored by Dalian University of Technology, support dialogue and negotiations within the framework of the Six-Party Talks, which group China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the US, the ROK, Russia and Japan.

As Beijing has been widely perceived as holding some sway over Pyongyang, there is a good prospect for it to step up cooperation with Washington and Seoul over the peninsula issue, the experts agreed.

In fact, China's participation in resolving the DPRK nuclear issue has helped propel China's image as a responsible power committed to regional stability, and thus reshaped some US assumptions on China, said Wang Fan, an international affairs professor at China Foreign Affairs University.

Either sanctioning Pyongyang or engaging with it, Washington would need China's cooperation, and the mutual need for enhancing cooperation has certainly become stronger after Pyongyang conducted its third nuclear test on Feb 12, said Wang.

In the same vein, Cui Ge, an associate professor of international politics at Dalian University of Technology suggested that Beijing should strengthen cooperation with Seoul over the peninsula issue too. There is a good opportunity for the two neighbors to build on their fruitful results from bilateral cooperation in trade and deepen collaboration on security issues, especially the peninsula issue, said Cui.

The two have announced the setting up of a hotline between their leaders earlier this year. Both close neighbors to the DPRK, Beijing and Seoul have a practical need to deepen strategic mutual trust, avoid strategic misjudgment and heed each other's mutual concerns, Cui said.

Considering that Beijing has called for the resumption of the Six-Party Talks several times this year, intensifying cooperation with Washington and Seoul would help bridge the gaps between the two camps and create the conditions for bringing concerned parties back to the negotiating table.
