AB - China’s ‘core interests’ was paid attention in 2009 when Dai Bingguo, China’s then-State Councilor, referred it at the first U.S.-China Strategic and Economy Dialogue held in July, 2009. Since then, various debates on ‘China’s core interests’ have been erupted.
Chinese government officially defined in 2011 the concept of ‘core interests’ in its white paper titled in ‘China’s Peaceful Rise’ as follows: national sovereignty, national security, territorial integrity, national unification, stability of political and social system, and consistent development of economy and society.
According to the definition, either North Korea or Korean peninsula doesn’t likely belong to the range of China’s core interests. It is rather strategically important area, affecting China’s core interests.
Chinese new leadership headed by Xi Jinping emphasize protection of its core national interests in international relations. However, the concept itself hasn’t yet been well defined. It is vague and evolving. State-centric interpretation of it become more popular and the range of concept extending. The evolution of the concept likely illustrates the nature of Xi’s foreign policy in the next decade and requires special attention.
