In the weeks leading up to the historic meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un, China is feeling sidelined. What does Beijing want from Pyongyang? How does China’s interest in North Korea differ from that of the United States? And what might Beijing do to ensure North Korea remains within China’s sphere of influence?
Isaac Stone Fish is a journalist and a senior fellow at the Asia Society’s Center on U.S.-China Relations in New York City; an on-air contributor to CBSN, and an international affairs analyst for PRI’s The World.

A fluent Mandarin speaker and formerly a Beijing correspondent for Newsweek, Stone Fish spent seven years living in China prior to joining Foreign Policy. He has traveled widely in the region and in the country, visiting every Chinese province, autonomous region, and municipality.
His views on international affairs have been widely quoted, including in MSNBC, ABC, NPR, CBS, CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post, The Atlantic, Slate, The Guardian, the BBC, the Sydney Morning Herald, Talking Points Memo, and Al-Jazeera, among others; and in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, and Vietnamese media.
