The bilateral meeting between the United States and North Korea, which
was held in Hanoi in February 2019, has not resulted in any agreement
between the two parties. Furthermore, North Korea's construction activity
of a nuclear development facility in Tongchan-ri has threatened the possibility
of any agreement between both states and has shown North Korea's
poor commitment to denuclearization. In order to understand the attitude
shown by North Korea, it is important to consider the presence of another
dominant actor in East Asia, the People's Republic of China (PRC). This
research aims to study the significance of the North Korean denuclearization
issue for the PRC, as well as the PRC's position in the issue. This research
utilizes a document-based data-collecting method, which includes
official documents released by the PRC as well as literatures that have
carried out earlier studies on the topic. This research has shown that the
PRC possesses significant interests and power in the denuclearization of
North Korea, which require the country to maintain an unclear stance in
the denuclearization process of North Korea.
