China understands that North Korea’s intractability is rooted in its deep isolation from the world, mass deception of its people, and Kim’s fear of losing control of a country that only his family has ruled. So the country’s rulers have come to believe that they can gain attention and resources only through provocation.
中国知道，朝鲜的难以驾驭植根于它与世界的深度隔绝、其人民的长期受骗，以及金氏害怕失去对朝鲜的独家统治权。因此，朝鲜统治者相信，挑衅是他们获得注意和资源的唯一方法。
