Contemporary threats to China’s security in the face of inter‑Korean tensions, nuclear risk, and U.S. involvement on the peninsula AB - The People’s Republic of China’s political and military involvement in East Asia has increased in recent years, and tensions on the Korean Peninsula have affected China’s security.
