The Four-Party Talks were proposed amid a crisis in the Taiwan Strait in 1996, and the Six-Party Talks were convened during the controversies over the subsequent Iraq War in early 2000s. The author argues whether this "Ad-hoc Concert" still survives as an analytic framework for examining Sino-US relations on the Korean Peninsula, notwithstanding the new dimension of collective security as a result of Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK, North Korea)'s nuclear issues with respect to the United Nation Security Council (UNSC). This paper first examines the Chinese initiatives in the nuclear crisis in 2016-17; it makes an assessment of the developments of the triangulated US-China-DPRK relationship after Chairman Kim Jongun referred to the "denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula" in early 2018. In the successive Summit meetings that Kim Jongun held with the Republic of Korea (ROK, South Korea)'s President Moon Jaein, and US President Donald Trump, the declaration to end the Korean War dominated those in the triangulated relations. This paper also reviews the controversies related to that declaration and their implication for Sino-US relations. Those implications will provide the basis for an analysis of Sino-US relations on the Korean Peninsula following a speech delivered by US Vice-President Mike Pence in October 2018 that was widely seen as a declaration of a "new cold war" between the US and China.

It provides an informal mechanism for scholars, officials and others in their private capacities to discuss political and security issues and challenges facing the region. It provides policy recommendations to various intergovernmental bodies, convenes regional and international meetings and establishes linkages with institutions and organisations in other parts of the world to exchange information, insights and experiences in the area of regional political-security cooperation. The CSCAP Regional Security Outlook (CRSO) is an annual publication to highlight regional security issues and to promote and inform policy relevant outputs as to how Tra...
