China hosts leaders of South Korea and Japan, seeking regional unity on how to deal with a belligerent North Korea
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe shakes hands with South Korean President Moon Jae-in during their meeting in Chengdu, China. December 24, 2019.
Kim has promised the unidentified "gift" – which analysts and American officials believe could be a provocative missile test – if the US does not make concessions in their nuclear talks by the end of the year. The US has frequently urged its two allies to bury the hatchet – worried that their poor relations were complicating diplomacy in Asia – although it has held off on direct mediation."As the region's major power, China hopes to show its diplomatic presence to the world by bringing the Japanese and South Korean leaders to the same table," said Haruko Satoh, professor and expert on Chinese politics at Osaka University.
These infuriated Tokyo, who insisted the matter had been settled by a 1965 treaty between the two countries. "It is important that we give our utmost support to the US-North Korea process toward complete denuclearisation of North Korea," said Abe. In an effort to pressure the US, the North has conducted a series of short-range missile tests and threatened to go further with its "Christmas gift".
