"Nuclear North Korea" and "Rebuttals: U.S. Nuclear Primacy"
North Korea's recent missile and nuclear tests present a number of critical challenges to China and the international community. The future approach that China takes toward North Korea will be instrumental to defining not only a solution for the beleaguering nation, but also the security structure in East Asia. In this issue, China Security returns to the subject of nuclear proliferation and nuclear policies. The first three articles provide an in-depth analysis of China's policy choices and strategic considerations regarding a nuclear North Korea. In the second set of articles, nuclear experts from the United States, China and Russia respond to the debate on U.S. Nuclear Primacy that was recently initiated by Keir Lieber and Daryl Press in Foreign Affairs earlier this year. The authors challenge many of the particular ideas and assumptions put forth in the Lieber/Press thesis but they also go beyond that to define why this debate has recently emerged and its deeper strategic significance for each respective country.
