-A "mediator" between North Korea and the United States
Liu Jianfei analyzed that North Korea seeks national security, and neither war nor denuclearization will bring it real security; Although the United States has super military strength and is stepping up its hegemonic strategy, its current strategic focus is in the Middle East. Although it doesn't want to see North Korea possess nuclear weapons, it doesn't want to go to war with North Korea.
However, the rift between the DPRK and the United States is so deep that it is difficult for the two sides to communicate and negotiate directly. In particular, some political forces in the United States, starting from the interests of our group, tried to make the US government adopt a tough policy to solve the crisis, thus making the DPRK and the United States even more lacking in mutual trust. At this time, there is a great need for a "mediator" to persuade both sides to put down their waving fists first.
And China is best suited to play this role. North Korea is a friendly neighbor of China, and the United States is a "constructive partner" of China. China is qualified to mediate the conflict between North Korea and the United States from a neutral standpoint.
-A "buffer" to contain the escalation of the DPRK-US conflict
Liu Jianfei said that if we compare the nuclear crisis between the DPRK and the United States with the Iraq crisis, we will find a very interesting phenomenon: although the United States regards Iraq and North Korea as the "axis of evil", it has adopted different attitudes and policies towards them; In the face of American pressure, Iraq and North Korea also adopted diametrically opposite attitudes. That is to say, Iraq, which claimed that it had no weapons of mass destruction and accepted the United Nations weapons inspection, was attacked by the United States, while North Korea, which publicly claimed that it possessed nuclear weapons, received "special care" from the United States.
Of course, there are also factors such as the global strategic considerations of the United States and the attitude of the United States towards its allies, especially South Korea. However, China's role is obvious to all. As a big country in the Asia-Pacific region, China's position and interests can never be ignored. China's adherence to the position of peaceful settlement of the crisis will undoubtedly help to soften the tough attitude of both parties to the conflict and curb the car of conflict from sliding to the brink of war.
Liu Jianfei analyzed that the special role of China not only reflects the promotion of China's international status and the growth of its national strength, but also shows that China is a responsible big country and an important force for maintaining regional security and peace.
-form a promoter of knowledge from all sides.
Liu Jianfei said that China's promotion of the six-party talks has greatly helped the six parties to reach a consensus on common interests, and the talks have also achieved results in this regard.
As Vice Minister Wang Yi said after the talks, all parties advocate the denuclearization of the peninsula and solve this problem in stages, simultaneously or in parallel; During the talks, all parties agreed not to take any actions that would worsen the situation, and to maintain dialogue, build trust, reduce differences and expand understanding.
In particular, after the talks, the attitudes of the two countries concerned, the United States and North Korea, have changed. The United States stressed that it should be possible to resolve the nuclear issue peacefully. The United States has no intention of threatening, invading and attacking North Korea, nor does it intend to change the North Korean regime. North Korea expresses its desire for peace, denuclearization is its general goal, and possession of nuclear weapons is not its purpose.
No matter the understanding between the six parties or the attitude change between the DPRK and the United States, it will not be easily formed and realized without such a mechanism as the six-party talks.
Liu Jianfei pointed out that after the Six-Party Talks, the tension in Northeast Asia triggered by the DPRK-US nuclear crisis has been greatly eased, and the prospect of a peaceful solution to the crisis has been obviously enhanced. Author:
