Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Mao Zedong once famously said relations between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) were as close as “lips and teeth.” In the last couple of years, however, that metaphor seems less apt than another - China’s boot on North Korea’s bottom. What are China’s interests in North Korea today? The conclusions of this paper are that while the Chinese government goes to some pains to express affection and solidarity with North Korea, in fact, China’s interests on the Korean peninsula have changed and are not far from those of the United States, though for different reasons. China has changed much since the 1950s, and so have its basic interests. North Korea, however, has changed little. Though some of the rhetoric of the “glorious” days of friendship forged in blood still is tossed about, China and North Korea have little in common but history today, and China has come to see North Korea as less of a younger brother and an ally in world socialist revolution than an irritant and a potential catalyst for a series of events that threaten China’s most basic security needs. In fact, North Korea’s brinkmanship has the potential to catalyze a series of events that are a grave threat to China’s core interests. Consequently it is not in China’s interest for North Korea to acquire nuclear weapons and China’s relations with North Korea are far more tense than most Westerners realize.
