Threat theory which is offering more appropriate arguments emphasizes China’s
non-democratic, authoritarian political system. It also examines the insecurity
of China towards the Western hemisphere due to its historical experiences. It
argues that China does not leave the peaceful development policy after the 19th
congress which has dominated China’s foreign policy since 2003. Chinese policy
towards North Korean Crisis has been chosen as the case for supporting the
