中国の対北朝鮮外交姿勢の転換はあるか－－中朝関係の歴史を俯瞰しつつ－

中國是否轉換對北韓外交之姿：俯瞰中朝關係史（China to Change Its Diplomatic Posture toward North Korea? An Overview of the History of China-DPRK Relations）

中國與北韓皆為日本戰敗後之社會主義國家，復因韓戰而形成「特殊國家關係」。然而，即使於冷戰時期，兩國間也絕非維持穩定之關係。尤其是身為地區小國之北韓，遭到包含蘇聯與美國等國際情勢影響，雖受中國支援，仍貫徹自身之立場。現今圍繞於核開發問題，中國作為六方會談之議長國，雖擔任調停之角色，然其對於北韓之說服並無奏效。中國外交之力量正受到試煉。

China and North Korea are both post-Japan war socialist countries that have developed special relations through the Korean War. However, even during the Cold War period, the relation between the two countries was far from stable. As a small country in the region, North Korea maintained a consistent position despite Chinese support amid tumultuous international situations involving the Soviet Union and the United States. In the recent nuclear development issue, China is the Chairman of the Six Party Talk and despite its intermediary role, there has been no success in dissuading North Korea. China's diplomatic influence is being tested.
