Presents an analysis of China's policy on North Korea as a means of understanding broader aspects of Chinese foreign policy. Finds that defensive realism offers the best explanation of China's policy and that the effect has been to coerce North Korea without contributing to instability. Considers the implications of the findings for the United States.
