Policy Forum 07-077: What Korean Unification Means to China

Zhang Quanyi, an associate professor at the Zhejiang Wanli University in Ningbo, China, and a research fellow at the School of International Studies at Yonsei University, writes, “Both China and Korea have been greatly influenced by Confucianism. What’s more, they share an unhappy history with Japan.
