China supports the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, but will remain silent on North Korea’s new nuclear power policy decree, Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post (SCMP) said, citing experts, on the 13th.
Zhang Baohui, a professor at Lingnan University in Hong Kong, said: “China prefers that North Korea eventually denuclearise, but does not want to put further pressure on it to do so.”
He added that neither the United States nor other countries are likely to impose additional sanctions on North Korea in accordance with the law, and that China will not support the United States even if the United Nations pushes for additional sanctions. .
“China recognizes the reality that North Korea is a nuclear power,” said Ryu Yong-wook, a professor at the National University of Singapore.
In the Nuclear Force Policy Act adopted by the Supreme People’s Assembly on the 8th, North Korea stated as a condition for the use of nuclear weapons, ‘when an attack is judged to have been carried out or about to take place’, ‘the existence of the state and’ the people ‘In cases where a catastrophic crisis occurs to the safety of people’s lives and an unavoidable situation is created where there is no choice but to respond with nuclear weapons’.
With this in mind, it is suggested that North Korea will further increase concerns about the nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula by stating the principle that it can launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike against South Korea at any time according to an ‘arbitrary threat judgment’.
However, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maoning said at a regular briefing on the 9th that “there is no change in our position on the Korean Peninsula issue.” I will perform,” he said.
“We will have a very challenging scenario on the Korean Peninsula in a situation where North Korean society and local high-level officials cannot be reached due to the restrictions of the COVID-19 quarantine over the next five years,” said Hu Chiouping, a professor at the National University of Malaysia.
“Unless a third party provides a neutral platform for dialogue between stakeholders on the Korean Peninsula, we look forward to seeing North Korea continue to build its military capabilities and modernize its nuclear weapons, which will become more threatening than ever, in the long term. There will be adherence to China and Russia,” he said.
“North Korea believes in the deterrent effect of nuclear weapons, which is key to its survival,” he added.
