The Observer Research Foundation in partnership with the Institute for Far Eastern Studies is hosting a virtual conversation titled “Stability in the Korean Peninsula: How has China's Interests Evolved?”. The conversation is designed to explore the current and future trajectory of the stability of the North Korean regime in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the rumours around Kim Jong-Un's health conditions. Is China as invested as before? Scholars suggest that China is more invested in the idea of its survival and a conflict or regime's collapse, would see China intervene - not to protect Beijing's supposed ally but to secure its own interests.
