Revelations regarding China’s modernizing military and the threat cyber espionage and attacks pose to the United States have renewed calls for greater cooperation in cyberspace. Now, Franz-Stefan Gady argues that more should be done to ease tensions between the United States and China.

South Korea President Park Geun-hye’s visit to the United States was overshadowed by a scandal surrounding Park’s spokesman. While some believe the scandal distracted from Park’s agenda, Donald Kirk postulates that the trip helped cement ties between South Korea and the US, offering hope for future six-party talks with North Korea.

While tensions on the Korean Peninsula have slowly began to dissipate, Nathan Beuchamp-Mustafaga delves into the complex issue of how China uses North Korea as leverage in the U.S.-China relationship and provides policy responses for the United States.

How China and the U.S. relationship benefits from the provocative behavior from North Korea remains to be seen. Yet in a meeting between John Kerry and China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi, an agreement was reached on finding a peaceful way to ensure a nuclear-free Korean peninsula.

Bilateral cooperation on Resolution 2094 ushered in a good start for the relationship under the new Chinese leadership and the start of President Obama’s second term.

Following the most recent North Korean missile launch, Doug Bandow argues that Washington must relearn the art of diplomacy in order to encourage Chinese pressure on Kim Jong-un.

Recent developments in North Korea both offer an opportunity for constructive cooperation between Beijing and Washington and underscore the need for such collab

In the West, North Korea’s recent missile launch has been framed as still another example of nuclear blackmail. The launch, the counter-productive international sanctions, the mounting nuclear threats and Kim Jong-un’s call for “radical turn” suggest a new diplomatic opportunity for Washington and Beijing alike and it should be seized now.

Though the North Korean missile launch was heavily condemned by much of the international community—with the United States calling it “provocative” and a breach of U.N. rules—and even China expressing “deep concern,” diplomatic or economic action against North Korean is unlikely.

By clearing choosing Japan over China in the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands dispute, the US risks increasing the likelihood of confrontation in the Asia Pacific region instead of negating it. These actions run counter to America’s stated goal of improving strategic trust between the US and China.
