The 2017 tests included two intermediate-range ballistic missiles launched over Japan and three intercontinental ballistic missiles with the potential to reach the United States. BBC News states that the United Nations bans ballistic and nuclear weapons tests and has placed strict sanctions on North Korea, which has continued its testing regardless.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In an emergency meeting of South Korea\u2019s National Security Council, President Moon Jae-in explained that the tests appeared to be a step by North Korea to end its \u201cself-imposed moratorium on testing its longest-range intercontinental ballistic missiles,\u201d says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/north-korea-fires-projectiles-into-sea-off-east-coast-yonhap-2022-01-29\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reuters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has stated that he no longer follows the moratorium, which was established in 2018 by then-U.S. President Donald Trump. Kim\u2019s regime implied that they may resume tests due to the U.S. and its allies failing to end their \u201chostile policies\u201d towards the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/north-korea-fires-projectile-sea-south-koreas-military-says-rcna14087\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NBC News<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports that the official Korean Central News Agency described\u00a0 the test as\u00a0 an attempt to verify the Hwasong-12 missile\u2019s accuracy. North Korea\u2019s recent series of launch tests are considered an attempt to acquire relief from sanctions or to be recognized as a legitimate nuclear state.\u00a0 Lecturer Dr. Daniel Pinkston told BBC News that North Korea\u2019s nuclear actions are an attempt to signal to various powers and potential foreign buyers that their program is growing more serious. Pinkston also explained that the missile tests provide a signal of strength for North Korea\u2019s domestic audience. The Associated Press furthers that Kim has shown no willingness to surrender North Korea\u2019s nuclear arsenal, despite the country\u2019s struggles under UN sanctions. Professor Kim Dong Yup, a former South Korean naval commander, explained that the country\u2019s main goal is \u201cnot to attack but to defend themselves,\u201d states BBC News.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The tests are the first to follow the sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on North Korea after missile launches earlier in January, reports <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/us-imposes-sanctions-series-north-korean-missile-tests-rcna12036\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NBC News<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. U.S. President Joe Biden has struggled to convince the country to surrender its nuclear arsenal since he took office in January 2021. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/01\/29\/world\/asia\/north-korea-missile-test.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The New York Times<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> states that Kim rejected the administration\u2019s offers for dialogue, advising his government to prepare for \u2018long-term confrontation\u2019 against the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">North Korea began interacting with China, its primary trading partner, in January for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. On February 4, Kim congratulated Chinese President Xi Jinping on the Beijing Winter Olympics, calling it a \u201cgreat victory won by socialist China\u201d in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, states <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2022\/2\/4\/n-koreas-kim-calls-olympics-great-victory-for-china-calls-for-better-relations\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Al Jazeera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. He further described the relations between North Korea and China as \u201cinvincible strategic relations that can never be broken by anything.\u201d Both China and Russia blocked the United States\u2019 proposal to place sanctions on five North Koreans as a result of missile launches in a UN Security Council meeting on January 20,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2022\/1\/20\/china-stalls-us-bid-to-sanction-north-koreans-at-united-nations\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Al Jazeera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> further reports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/live-news\/20220204-north-korean-olympics-message-may-signal-halt-to-missile-tests-analysts\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> France 24<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Cheong Seong-chang of the Center for North Korea Studies in Sejong stated that this celebratory message implies that China should not be concerned about any North Korean missile tests throughout the Olympics. The Associated Press reports, however, that experts suggest once the Olympics are over, North Korea could increase its weapons demonstrations to further pressure the Biden administration. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On January 30, North Korea launched what is thought to be the country\u2019s longest-range missile tested since 2017, according to BBC News.\u00a0 states that the missile launched at a high trajectory with the apparent goal to avoid their neighbor\u2019s territorial space, reaching a maximum altitude of 2,000 kilometers and traveling 800 kilometers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4929,"featured_media":11405,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2314,2313,382,386,1334],"tags":[398,420,767,910,1446],"class_list":["post-11425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-february-2022","category-2313","category-international-news","category-asia","category-conflict_and_security","tag-nuclear-weapons","tag-north-korea","tag-dprk","tag-security","tag-conflict"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
