Relations between North Korea and China are not improving on political matters
since 2006, when North Korea started to do regular nuclear attempts. In order to
explain the nature of relations between these both countries, I propose to apply the
framework of Game theory. These concepts and the notion of risk dominance will be
used to describe the general diplomatic strategy between North Korea and China and
to account for North Korea’s constant provocations. A situation of the Game theory
called the Nash Equilibrium will be applied to suggest policy lines specifically after
the stronger provocations of the North Korean state. At conclusive remarks, some
limitations toward Game theory on its application on relations between China and
North Korea will be suggested.
