This article analyzes official speeches on international peace and security carried out by Northeast Asian states, especially China, to secure their legitimacy at the United Nations (UN) in the Indo-Pacific era. Existing studies on Northeast Asian countries’ behavior relevant to UN peace and security agendas have focused mainly on individual states’ issues and policy recommendations. Thus, these studies have rarely explained the meanings of such speeches in a broader context of international relations theories, specifically from the perspective of social constructivism. By examining the records of the Security Council, keynote speeches at the UN General Assembly, and official remarks of state representatives and foreign ministers, this article demonstrates that Northeast Asian states, which all are “incomplete” sovereigns based on the Western conceptualization of modern sovereignty, have competed for legitimacy to attain recognition from the international society at the UN. China, Taiwan, South Korea, North Korea, and Japan have all strategically utilized the UN Charter?a core symbolic source of the UN?to legitimize themselves and delegitimize others with respect to UN memberships and permanent memberships of the UN Security Council. In particular, China has attempted to strengthen its legitimacy by emphasizing both the principle of non-interference based on the UN Charter and a Chinese-style approach. This article provides a theoretical and empirical analysis of Northeast Asian states’ interactions in international organizations amidst the current international order that is characterized by competition between the United States and China.
