背景分析朝鲜对于研究整个东亚的国际关系至关重要，但朝鲜对信息的严格控制使这一点变得困难。朝鲜与中国的“特殊关系”是另一个使分析复杂化的因素。目的本文的目的是考察促成中朝“特殊关系”的四个因素，这种关系是如何形成的，本文对中朝关系进行了结构性分析，描述了中朝关系背后的四个因素：特殊关系”。文章接着分析了习近平和金正恩领导下的中朝关系，以及韩国部署“萨德“反导系统对中朝关系的影响。这些因素的独特之处在于，它们可以使双方走到一起，也可以使他们分开。在国家安全问题上，使它们走到一起的力量最终占了上风。社会主义意识形态问题现在已经不那么频繁地出现，并且已经失去了将两者结合起来并将其分开的能力。在传统关系方面，两位领导人都试图利用个人关系来拉近关系，但这并没有太多持久的效果。在经济关系方面，北京和平壤之间的相互依赖性更强，这是推动双方走得更近的强大力量。
BackgroundAnalyzing North Korea is essential for examining international relations in East Asia as a whole, but North Korea’s tight control over information makes this difficult. Another factor complicating analysis of North Korea is its “special relationship” with China.PurposeThe aim of this paper is to examine four factors contributing to the “special relationship” between China and North Korea, how that relationship came about, and how it functions within the context of international politics today.Main ArgumentThis paper is a structural analysis of China–North Korea relations that describes four factors behind their “special relationship.” It continues by analyzing China–North Korea relations under Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-un up to the deployment of THAAD in South Korea.ConclusionThe “special relationship” between China and North Korea is based on four factors. What is distinctive about these factors is that they can bring the two sides together but also push them apart. In terms of national security issues, the force bringing them together has ultimately prevailed. Socialist ideology issues have surfaced much less frequently now and have lost their capacity to both bring the two together and push them apart. In the area of traditional ties, the two leaders are attempting to use their personal relationship to have closer relations, but this is not having much lasting effect. Where economic relations are concerned, Beijing and Pyongyang have become even more dependent on each other and this is a strong force pushing them closer together.
