China and North Korea: Past, Present, and Future - Panel 2

With international attention focused on a potential U.S.-North Korea summit meeting in May, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made a surprise trip to Beijing in late March to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. This conference explored the dynamics and tensions of the historical relationship between China and North Korea, the potential impact of Korean reunification on China, and China’s role in a limited military conflict and its aftermath. 

Panel 2:
Would a Reunified Korea under South Korean Leadership be Positive or Negative for China?
