It can be said that the policies that will determine how it will be understood and ran. Due to the changes in the world, the importance of Northeast Asia in growing and the Gando issue has stirred much interest. Since China’s reform and opening policy in the remote region of the northeast, its single and multiple relation with Russia, North Korea, South Korea, Mongolia, Japan and US is seen to have a great change.

Also, in 1997, the effects of the changes in the Korean peninsula effecting the northeast were surveyed.
