Preparations needed to prevent Chinese intervention in North Korea

South Korea should be prepared for a multinational intervention in the event of "sudden changes" on the Korean peninsula, and be ready to prevent Chinese military deployment, an analyst said on Tuesday.


Hong Hyun-ik, a senior researcher at the Sejong Institute, a South Korean think tank, said it would be an "urgent" priority for Seoul to block Chinese interference in the case of a political crisis in North Korea, Yonhap reported.

South Korea must make sure North Korea's territory falls under Seoul's jurisdiction before another power makes the claim, Hong said.
