Shorenstein APARC policy experts provide perspective on recent North Korea events

G20Lists President Barack Obama walks with other World leaders, including South Korea's President Lee Myung-bak and China's President Hu Jintao, following the G-20 family photo at the COEX Center in Seoul, South Korea, Nov. 12, 2010.
In November, news came of an alleged North Korean nuclear enrichment plant at the Yongbyon nuclear facility, followed shortly by news of North Korea's attack on the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong in the Yellow Sea. China now comes under scrutiny for "enabling" these events. Daniel C. Sneider, Shorenstein APARC's associate director of research, and Michael H. Armacost, the Shorenstein Distinguished Fellow, provide perspective on the Yeonpyeong Island attack and on recent developments, including the U.S. government response, since the announcement of these events.
