| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 戰略暨國際事務研究所 === 100 === The Sino-North Korea alliance was established in the cold war. The bonding forces of the alliance are the common experiences of anti-Japanese struggle during World War II, and the ideological bond of the international communism movements. However, since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the international structure of bipolarity was eventually collapsed. Both Chinese and North Korean governments don’t have to obey the guidance of the Communist International anymore while making their policies. Instead, national interests have become the main considerations for decision-making of the Chinese and North Korean governments. After China adopted its economic reform programs, it changed its attitude toward America and South Korea from opposition to engagement, and began to intensify the economic and trade ties among them. China seeks a peaceful and stable international environment, which is the most beneficial to its development. Therefore, China tries to prevent any military conflicts from breaking out in the region. On the other hand, the state of North Korea is dictated by Kim Il-sung’s “Junche ideology,” which impulses North Korea to take a more aggressive posture toward America, Japan and South Korea. This kind of posture, however, is in contradiction to China’s peace-seeking strategy, and also affected this once solid alliance.
