China–North Korea relations are bilateral between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea). China and North Korea have, in the past, enjoyed close diplomatic relations. However, China-North Korea relations have declined markedly over the past few years. The decline in China-North Korea relations is primarily due to growing concern in China over issues such as North Korea's nuclear weapons program and its impoundment of Chinese fishing boats. China maintains an embassy in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang and a consulate general in Chongjin. 〔(Embassy of People's Republic of China in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea )〕 The Embassy of North Korea in China is located in Beijing's Chaoyang District, while a consulate general is in Shenyang. Favorable views of North Korea among Chinese people appear to be receding as well. According to a 2014 BBC World Service Poll, 20% of Chinese people view North Korea's influence positively, with 46% expressing a negative view.〔("Embassy & Consulate of D.P.R.K. (North Korea) in China," Travel China Guide. )〕 ==History== The People's Republic of China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea exchanged diplomatic recognition on 6 October 1949. In May 1950, Kim Il-sung secretly visited Beijing to brief Mao Zedong and the Chinese leadership on his war plans.〔(Kathryn Weathersby, "New Russian Documents on the Korean War," Cold War International History Project Bulletin 6/7 (Winter 1995): 40-84. )〕 Following setbacks sustained by the Korean People's Army and the crossing of the 38th parallel by the United Nations Command, in October 1950 China entered the Korean War in support of North Korea.〔("Q&A: China-North Korea Relationship" ), ''New York Times'', 13 July 2006.〕 In addition to dispatching the Chinese People's Volunteers to Korea to fight against the United Nations Command, China also received North Korean refugees and students and provided economic aid during the war.〔(Adam Cathcart and Charles Kraus, "The Bonds of Brotherhood: New Evidence on Sino-North Korean Exchanges, 1950-1954," Journal of Cold War Studies 13, no. 3 (2011): 27-51. )〕 Following the signing of the Korean War Armistice in 1953, China, along with members of the Eastern Bloc, provided extensive economic assistance to Pyongyang to support the reconstruction and economic development of North Korea.〔(Zhihua Shen and Yafeng Xia (2012), "China and the Postwar Reconstruction of North Korea, 1953-1961," NKIDP Working Paper #4. )〕 In 1961, the two countries signed the Sino-North Korean Mutual Aid and Cooperation Friendship Treaty, whereby China pledged to immediately render military and other assistance by all means to its ally against any outside attack.〔(''Treaty of Friendship, Co-operation and Mutual Assistance between the People's Republic of China and the Democrati People's Republic of Korea'' ), 11 July 1967: Article II: ''In the event of one of the Contracting Parties being subjected to the armed attack by any state or several states jointly and thus being involved in a state of war, the other Contracting Party shall immediately render military and other assistance by all means at its disposal.'' (一旦缔约一方受到任何一个国家的或者几个国家联合的武装进攻，因而处于战争状态时，缔约另一方应立即尽其全力给予军事及其他援助。)〕 This treaty was prolonged twice, in 1981 and 2001, with a validity until 2021. Since 2003, the PRC has been a participant in six-party talks aimed at resolving the issue of North Korea's nuclear weapons programme. On 1 January 2009, Chinese President Hu Jintao and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il exchanged greetings and declared 2009 as the "year of China–DPRK friendship", marking 60 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.〔Xinhua, "Chinese, DPRK leaders exchange congratulatory messages on the launch of friendship year", 1 January 2009.〕 The Foreign Minister of the People's Republic of China Yang Jiechi said that China "resolutely" opposes the latest nuclear test conducted by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The North Korean ambassador to China, Ji Jae Ryong, was personally informed of this position on 12 February 2013 in a meeting with Yang Jiechi.〔 On 5 May 2013, North Korea "grabbed", according to Jiang Yaxian, a Chinese government official, another Chinese fishing boat in a series of impounding Chinese fishing boats.〔 "North Korea was demanding 600,000 yuan ($97,600) for its safe return, along with its 16 crew."〔 According to a New York Times article in December 2014, relations had reached a low point. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「China–North Korea relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
