“After the 5th plenary session of the China Plenum, denuclearization becomes more distant… Cooperation must be expanded through 1.5 track dialogue.”

The Korea Institute for National Unification analyzed that after the 20th Plenary Session of China's 20th Central Committee, discussions on denuclearization have become distant due to the strengthening of Xi Jinping's regime, and the tighter high-level exchanges between North Korea and China have enabled North Korea to 'hold on' and there is a high risk that the disconnect between North and South Korea will harden.
