2NC/1NR Solvency #1—China Fails



They say China can influence North Korea, but

[GIVE :05 SUMMARY OF OPPONENT’S SINGLE ARGUMENT]



  1. Extend our Lord evidence.

[PUT IN YOUR AUTHOR’S NAME]

It’s much better than their Chanlett-Avery, Rinehart, and Nikitin evidence because: [PUT IN THEIR AUTHOR’S NAME]

[CIRCLE ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS]:

(it’s newer) (the author is more qualified) (it has more facts)

(their evidence is not logical/contradicts itself) (history proves it to be true)

(their evidence has no facts) (Their author is biased) (it takes into account their argument)

(Many different arguments) (their evidence supports our argument)

[WRITE IN YOUR OWN!]


[EXPLAIN HOW YOUR OPTION IS TRUE BELOW]

The Lord evidence says that we need to get South Korea and Japan on board first because they directly influence North Korea. The evidence also argues that China historically backs off North Korea because they fear the outcome. Also, the regime is resilient and needs their weapons to protect themselves.

This matters because: for all of these reasons, North Korea will not change. That means the Aff solves nothing and their impacts will happen.

  1. North Korea and Chinese relations are very low—Kim is calling to use nuclear weapons against Beijing



The Diplomat, April 2016 [Website focused on Asian international affairs, “Is North Korea Fed up With China?”, April 1, http://thediplomat.com/2016/04/is-north-korea-fed-up-with-china/
North Korea’s ruling party recently called on citizens to stand up to its patron China’s “hostile schemes” in a blistering attack that invoked nuclear war with Beijing, a report has claimed. In a document distributed to provincial committees, the Workers’ Party of Korea implored party members and workers to “soundly crush China’s pressuring schemes with the force of a nuclear storm for its betrayal of socialism,” reported The Daily NK. The document, dated March 10, lambastes China’s decision to join sweeping U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang over its latest nuclear and rocket tests. Daily NK, a North Korea-focused news site, said it obtained the document via Sino-North Korea relations expert Lee Young Hwa, a professor at Kansai University in Osaka, Japan. If genuine, the broadside would be a striking indication of how uneasy relations have become between Pyongyang and Beijing, whose relationship Mao Zedong famously described as being as close as “lips and teeth.” North Korea analysts that spoke to The Diplomat, however, expressed skepticism about the document’s authenticity. “If this document is authentic, we can look forward to a travel ban from the North Korean side against Chinese tourists, more nationalization of Chinese assets in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea along the lines of the 2012 Xiyang fiasco (in which the mining firm reportedly lost tens of millions of dollars), preparation to lose China’s protective human rights veto at the United Nations, the possible ouster of Chinese journalists from Pyongyang, and a military build-up on the Chinese-North Korean border,” said Adam Cathcart, a lecturer at the University of Leeds. “However, since this document is likely a forgery, I don’t expect any of those things to happen.” Another North Korea scholar, who did not want to be named but said he was familiar with the document’s acquisition, also questioned its authenticity, pointing to it being handwritten and how it reached the media. Lee, the reported source of the document, could not be reached for comment. Even if fake, however, the document echoes real North Korean frustration with China, said Daniel Pinkston, an international relations professor at Troy University. “I think the underlying sentiments have been present in North Korea for a long time,” said Pinkston, who was a Korean linguist in the U.S. Air Force. “But I think the level of resentment that the North Koreans feel for the Chinese is only becoming clear to outsiders now.”

  1. Recent international sanctions are incredibly strong



CNN, March 2016 [“U.N. Security Council approves tough sanctions on North Korea”, March 3, http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/02/world/un-north-korea-sanctions-vote/]
United Nations (CNN)The United Nations Security Council voted Wednesday morning to impose a broad array of sanctions against North Korea because of that nation's recent nuclear test and missile launch -- both of which defied current international sanctions. The resolution aims to cripple parts of the North Korean economy that fuel its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. For example, member nations have agreed to inspect all planes and ships carrying North Korean imports and exports and to stop selling aviation fuel to North Korea. U.S. President Barack Obama immediately praised the action, saying, "Today, the international community, speaking with one voice, has sent Pyongyang a simple message: North Korea must abandon these dangerous programs and choose a better path for its people." Samantha Power, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., told the Security Council that North Korea not only treated its population with cruelty, it was the only nation to conduct a nuclear test in the 21st century. "With each nuclear test and launch using ballistic missile technology, the DPRK improves its capability to carry out a ballistic missile attack not only in the region but a continent away," she said. "That means having the ability to strike most of the countries sitting on this council. Think about that." Power said the sanctions will: -- Require all North Korean planes and ships carrying cargo to be inspected. Previously, nations only inspected planes and ships when they had "reasonable grounds," which enabled North Korea to hide tools and parts for missiles and the nuclear program in inconspicuous packages, Power said. "This is hugely significant," she said. -- Ban Pyongyang from exporting most of the country's natural resources. Coal alone accounted for about $1 billion in annual income, she said. -- Ask U.N. member states to ban North Korea from opening banks, and to close any banks believed to be associated with North Korea's nuclear and missile programs. -- Direct member states to expel North Korean diplomats and foreign nationals engaged in illicit activities. -- Prohibit nations from providing training to North Korean nationals in fields that could advance the nation's missile and nuclear programs, such as aerospace engineering and advanced computer simulation. -- Ban member states from allowing North Korea to charter foreign vessels or aircraft, and ban all nations from operating any vessels that use North Korean flags. -- Prohibit the supply of aviation fuel -- including rocket fuel -- and the sale of small arms to North Korea.
