The United States, Australia and the former Soviet Union now together have a significant military and energy presence in North Korea. But the United States is not the only big power with its own concerns about the North’s nuclear program. Britain, Canada, France, Mexico and New Zealand all have different priorities in dealing with the North.
It seems odd that the biggest powers in the world, which are the ones in the toughest-ever arms race with China and a nuclear power, don’t also share some fairly significant goals in dealing with North Korea.
While the United States continues to insist it understands China’s concern over North Korea’s nuclear ambitions, there are obvious differences of opinion regarding what is most important for Washington — which the New York Times reports, but in an oblique way, is being taken seriously:
Mr. Obama said the United States would not allow a crisis on the Korean Peninsula, and urged others to respect the United Nations Security Council. “We don’t believe there is a military solution here, but we do not believe we can have a diplomatic solution to the conflict on the Korean Peninsula that doesn’t also begin with North Korea accepting full and complete responsibility for its actions,” Mr. Obama said. … Mr. Obama said the United States and its allies had a lot at stake on the Korean Peninsula. He pointed to an increase in China’s military spending, saying that “in the current geopolitical moment, one of the things we don’t want is to get pushed around politically by anybody.”
And then we get to New Zealand:
In the New Zealand Parliament, the government opposes “any attempt to impose a North Korean military solution upon the peninsula”. The government also strongly opposes any attempts to force China or Russia to support a North Korea solution. A motion on the issue will be debated in Parliament in November.
New Zealand is the fifth-largest country by GDP and as much as two-thirds of its exports flow to the United States. Most of their coal and most of their timber comes from the north.
