Abstract
A peace community is the ultimate goal of regional cooperation in Northeast Asia. However, a peace community cannot be accomplished in one move and will only be achieved step by step over the long-term. At present, Northeast Asia is only at the stage of regional cooperation, which it is hoped will lay the foundation for an eventual peace community. This paper examines the current situation and the elements affecting regional cooperation in Northeast Asia, points out that APEC can play an exemplary role in Northeast Asian cooperation, and analyzes China’s perspective and attitude towards this region’s cooperation.
