China faces a strategic dilemma: deal with North Korea\u2019s repeated nuclear provocations while responding to South Korea\u2019s Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) deployment. In the eyes of Chinese leaders, THAAD is another US-led military containment effort in the Asia Pacific. But North Korea\u2019s nuclear tests further complicate the matter.<\/p>\n<p>What happened after the latest nuclear test? The United States blamed China for North Korea\u2019s actions, South Korea started plans to expedite THAAD\u2019s deployment and the UN Security Council looked at more serious sanctions against North Korea. But all of these responses were useless. Policy solutions need to be more inventive.<\/p>\n<p>North Korea\u2019s nuclear tests have revealed two facts. First, although Beijing cannot control its \u2018rogue ally\u2019 in Pyongyang, blaming China for North Korea\u2019s actions doesn\u2019t help either. Second, the THAAD system will not protect South Korea if it antagonises China and Russia. On the flip side, China and Russia will not work together with South Korea and the United States if they feel threatened by THAAD.<\/p>\n<p>Please click here to read the full &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eastasiaforum.org\/2016\/10\/26\/solving-northeast-asian-security\/?utm_campaign=shareaholic&amp;utm_medium=twitter&amp;utm_source=socialnetwork\">Solving Northeast Asian security<\/a>&#8221; article in East Asia Forum by Griffith Asia Institute Associate Professor Kai He and School of Government and International Relations Senior Lecturer Dr Huiyun Feng.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Korea&#8217;s fifth nuclear test in early September 2016 has intensified the security predicament in Northeast Asia.
