Wang Yiwei, an international affairs expert with Renmin University, says South Korea is a key player in maintaining a peaceful and nuclear-free Korean Peninsula. The world has over-emphasised the influence of US-North Korea or China-US ties without paying enough attention to South Koreas role in the issue, he is quoted as saying in a Xinhua report. He adds that Beijing and Seoul have become regional stabilisers in the face of deepening territorial tensions, the rise of right-wing views in Japan and Pyongyangs nuclear problems. The Global Times Chinese edition notes that both China and South Korea have all along remained rational. It praises South Koreas power balance, adding that Seoul has been acting as a buffer between Beijing and Washington and it has gained more strategic interest than Tokyo. It also describes Asian countries which completely lean on the US for security as foolish and warns that these countries have a childish fantasy thinking that the US will support them when they confront China. m.bbc/news/world-asia-china-28156522
