Public statements aside, the People's Republic of China PRC has shifted its traditional position and has tacitly accepted, even welcomed, the continuation of the U. Beijing views the institutionalized presence of the Americans in Northeast Asia as a stabilizing force, serving China's interest of maintaining the favorable status quo in the region.
However, continued acceptance is not guaranteed; developments in the Sino-American relationship and the course of reunification of the Korean Peninsula will affect attitudes in the future. In order to discuss China's perception of the U. Korean alliance, let us first examine China's general post-Cold War security policy, especially regarding Northeast Asia.
As the century ends, Beijing, increasingly preoccupied with its own domestic agenda, has adopted a more conservative attitude nearterm in Northeast Asia. In the post-Cold War era, international competition has shifted from the political and military to the economic arena.

Indeed, the United States is frequently regarded as a stabilizing force in the region, although Beijing watches carefully Washington's "hegemonic" moves. The future of the political division on the Korean Peninsula is naturally of key importance to China's perception of the U.
One can hardly observe much eagerness on China's part for a rapid reunification of Korea, although Beijing is somewhat sincere in supporting the idea of letting the Koreans themselves control the reunification process. To Beijing, a stable, peaceful and hopefully friendly, but perhaps divided, Korean Peninsula is more desirable than rapid reunification or a de-nuclearization of North Korea. Finally, as a result of China's overall security considerations, Beijing now appears to have quietly accepted the U.
Continued tacit acceptance, however, is not guaranteed. From the Chinese perspective, there seems to be an inherent conflict between a united Korea and a strong Korean- American alliance; if a united Korea maintains an alliance with the United States, Beijing may have to make a sharp policy shift. The key variables affecting China's perception of the U.
