Abstract:

North Koreas nuclear weapons program upsets stability in the East China Sea region and immediately threatens the current rules-based international order. To restore stability in and protect the rules-based international order, the United States must update its nuclear policy. This revision must acknowledge the capabilities and risks posed by North Koreas nuclear weapons program, reverse its stance against nuclear proliferation, and shift its focus to arms control instead of denuclearization.
