Commentary
The Russian leadership wants to avoid a dangerous precedent in which it is squeezed out of Iran by the United States and Israel—and left powerless to respond in any meaningful way.

The United States, China and the North Korean Nuclear Dilemma
The status of North Korea has a strong affect on bilateral relations between the United States and China.
Published on Jan 18, 2011

Speaking to Phoenix TV, Chen Qi and Paul Haenle discussed the Korean Peninsula and its impact on U.S.-China relationships. Chen, speaking in Chinese, pointed out that the main cause of tension between North and South Korea is the South’s reversal of its Sunshine Policy, following the Yeonpyeong Island incident on 23 November, 2010. Haenle added that the status of North Korea affects bilateral relations between the United States and China, explaining that some of the recent progress in U.S.-China relations reflects “China getting involved and persuading the North Koreans not to take provocative actions in the future.”
