  • Chinese Attitudes Toward Korean Unification*
    International Journal of Korean Unification Studies Vol. 24, No. 2, 2015, 71–98 Chinese Attitudes toward Korean Unification* Bonnie S. Glaser and Yun Sun Although China officially supports unification of the Korean Peninsula, it essentially maintains a two Koreas policy. Beijing sustains this approach because even as the burdens and dangers of the status quo on the peninsula increase, it judges that the risks of unification are potentially greater. Nevertheless, China’s growing economic and political clout along with the strengthening of its ties with South Korea are boosting Beijing’s confidence that it can protect Chinese interests regardless of developments on the peninsula.

The ROK and the U.S. should consider ways to influence China’s cost/benefit calculus regarding Korean unification. No single step is likely to alter China’s approach, but an accumulation of measures aimed at easing Chinese fears and reducing the uncertainties associated with unification could have an impact on Chinese thinking and policies over time.

In a speech marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and the liberation of Korea, President Park emphasized the benefits of “a Korea made whole” and called on all Koreans to “stand together and prepare for unification.” Achieving this vision will undoubtedly * The authors would like to thank CSIS research interns Johannes Feige and Lee Beumchan for their research assistance.

This thesis has not been submitted previously, either in its entirety or substantially, for a higher degree or qualifications at any other university or institute of higher learning. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources has been acknowledged. Matthew James Brazil i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Before and during this project I met a number of people who, directly or otherwise, encouraged my belief that Chinese Communist intelligence was not too difficult a subject for academic study. Michael Dutton and Scot Tanner provided invaluable direction at the very beginning. James Mulvenon requires special thanks for regular encouragement over the years and generosity with his time, guidance, and library. Richard Corsa, Monte Bullard, Tom Andrukonis, Robert W. Rice, Bill Weinstein, Roderick MacFarquhar, the late Frank Holober, Dave Small, Moray Taylor Smith, David Shambaugh, Steven Wadley, Roger Faligot, Jean Hung and the staff at the Universities Service Centre in Hong Kong, and the kind personnel at the KMT Archives in Taipei are the others who can be named. Three former US diplomats cannot, though their generosity helped my understanding of links between modern PRC intelligence operations and those before 1949.
