China's increasing influence on North Korea
Shorenstein APARC, KSP in the news: The New York Times on April 29, 2010David Straub, associate director of the Korean Studies Program, discussed China's increasing influence on North Korea with The New York Time's reporter Choe Sang-hun. Straub said that China's primary purpose in boosting trade and other ties with North Korea was not increased influence per se but the avoidance of a crisis on the Korean Peninsula. Contrary to official rhetoric on both sides, he noted, the two countries remain wary of each other.
