Vicious cycle of sanctions and provocations possible despite UNSC measures: Scott Snyder

미외교협회 선임연구원 스캇 스나이더 '북핵문제 답보 가능성 여전' Stronger sanctions on North Korea followed by new provocations by the regime. That is the pattern pointed out by Scott Snyder of the Council on Foreign Relations, or CFR. According to a report by the researcher of the U.S. think tank... China may be the x-factor contributing to this cycle. While Beijing gives hope the latest international effort will be fruitful by displaying it's willingness to cooperate on tougher sanctions on its long time ally, it leaves sufficient loopholes. Snyder projects that it becomes clear, even after the passage of each UN Security Council resolution imposing tougher sanctions on the North,... when China eases off on the pressure, the cycle repeats itself and the reclusive regime conducts yet another nuclear or missile test.
