Evolving Chinese and Soviet Policies Toward the Korean Peninsula

Abstract

After decades of seeming imperviousness to the dramatic changes occurring throughout East Asia, the Korean Peninsula has clearly entered a period of fluidity. This is as apparent in the policies of China and the Soviet Union toward the two Koreas as it is on the Peninsula itself. Between the two, Chinese policies show the sharper changes. It may be ironic, in this regard, that the greatest uncertainty concerns the future policies of the Soviet Union. This paper analyzes the evolving policies of China and the Soviet Union toward the Korean Peninsula and assesses their implications. (RRH)
