The latest outbreak of the North Korean nuclear threat and military threat to the United States a rare opportunity to build bridges with China - a potential simmering crisis, the revitalization of the Obama administration's flagging policy fulcrum Asia glimmer of hope.
Architect management policy in Asia, the results of the Chinese way of thinking, North Korea's recent nuclear tests, rocket launchers, the end of the Korean War Armistice Agreement gave a subtle change in 1950-1953.
Pyongyang has taken similar action in the past, which prompted Washington to strengthen military preparations in the region, in order to appease allies South Korea and Japan. But in an unusual rebuke this week, known as North Korea's move "regrettable" - a slap from Pyongyang's most powerful economic and diplomatic supporter.
"They, I would like to recognize in recent months and years, North Korea has taken action actually runs counter to their own national security interests," the former Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell told a group Thursday Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University.
"There is a subtle change in China's foreign policy, North Korea, Campbell said, as the administration's top diplomat in East Asia and the Pacific in February retirement. "I do not believe that Pyongyang's provocative path ... I think they've succeeded in disrupting the trust and confidence in Beijing."
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland described between the United States and China "unity" deal with North Korea.
"The problem here is to continue to recognize that we share is a common threat, more likely to be more effective, if we can work well together," she told reporters Thursday.
President Obama recently called for the new president of China, Xi Jinping, about China's plan to take measures to prevent the threat from the north part of the effort, the New York Times on its Web site Friday night.
For now, the crisis has given the White House's decision to strengthen the U.S. in the region for many years as a new rise of the absence of war and terrorism in the Middle East and North Africa economic and security priority.
Many of the policies are concentrated in China - both in strengthening diplomatic relations and economic and trade. China is an unreliable ally, and always suspected that the plea of ??the United States, it is considered on its own turf economic competition.
Now, the North Korean threat have focused on the economic competitiveness of China and the United States, rather than a regional security threat.
"Pivot part is to take a more active interest in security issues in Asia," D-MD Senator Ben Cardin, who chaired a committee of supervision in East Asia, in an interview with reporters, said: this week. "It is clear that North Korea is one of the most difficult countries, security issues, on behalf of the Asian countries and indirectly affect the interests of the United States."
, "Cardin said:" With these voices of North Korea's security deal with the problem will require the United States and Asia.
North Korea has gradually increased the threat to the United States, South Korea and Japan, almost every day, string, proposed a "considerable range, the east coast of the missile, South Korea's defense minister said Thursday. But he stressed that the missile is not able to reach the United States, officials in Seoul and Washington agreed to, there is no indication that Pyongyang is preparing for full-scale conflict.
Last year, North Korea launched a long-range rocket - it claims, their satellites, but is widely regarded as missiles - and conducted an underground nuclear test announced in February. A month later, the country announced its 1953 armistice with South Korea invalid. This week, Pyongyang said it would restart nuclear reactors blinds, and enhance the production of atomic weapons material, and began to forsake Korean workers jointly set up factories in the North.
The many militant is seen as a loyalty between citizens and the military effort to support the young leader of North Korea Kim Jong-un. But the United States and United Nations sanctions against Pyongyang conducted nuclear tests in February, fueling tensions, and began to threaten the abnormally high levels.
The annual US-South Korean military exercises - intentionally or unintentionally - antagonistic to the north, which is a response. The ongoing exercises showed significant firepower show, including fly bombers and fighters in the United States in recent weeks, more than South Korea and the United States missile defense ship has been deployed in the coast of the Korean Peninsula, close.
North Korean military issued a statement saying its forces have been authorized to deal with America's "aggression" and "powerful military countermeasures", including nuclear weapons. Experts suspect that Pyongyang is capable of launching a nuclear warhead missiles, but the extent of their nuclear arsenals is unclear.
Historically, China has been the implementation of international sanctions against North lax. However, the United States has taken a positive development, China has signed the nuclear tests in February, announced the latest round of UN Security Council sanctions more stringent measures, and there is preliminary evidence that it increases the inspection of goods. However, this will lead to North Korea's weapons program and the illicit trade in weapons concrete steps will curl, remains to be seen.
New American Security Center and senior State Department official in the George W Bush administration's Asia expert Patrick Cronin said that Beijing has also helped set up a reverse channel negotiations with North Korea to ease tensions.
But in the end, he said, the United States is not likely to be successful, has won China beyond the current outbreak of the DPRK as a reliable partner.
Cronin said: "There is an opportunity for the renewal of the United States and China on North Korea's strategic cooperation". "But we can not put all our hope cooperation, because it has been lower than in the past to meet far, China and the United States there is a coincidence of interests with the DPRK side constraints, but it is not enough - because, possible, we are likely to fail. "
Asia expert and peace activist Lee Hyun agree that Washington would not be possible to open in Beijing on North Korea's long-term. However, she said, China does not want to see the United States to strengthen its military presence in the region, Beijing certainly do not want to in their border war.
China does not want to deal with the headache like tension between the United States and North Korea, Lee said: "Working Group in the Asia and Pacific region's peace and demilitarization. "I think China is trying to bind the two sides."
