Beijing is afraid of the alliance between Russia and North Korea

According to the political scientist, China, up to a certain point, sees the close interaction between Putin and Kim agreeing or pretending that nothing is happening. But of course, Beijing is skeptical about North Korea’s move towards Russia’s orbit.

China is certainly not interested in North Korea working closely with Russia. Xi Jinping sees North Korea as his satellite and he does not want to lose it. And North Korea is very economically dependent on China, much more than on Russia, and even more so on the West,
– said Eidman.

The political scientist also said that Beijing will not allow Russia to claim leadership in the Far East region.

The blackmailer Kim Jong Un bluffs

Regarding the leader of the DPRK, the political scientist said that he likes to fight to stand at the level of world leaders. And he usually achieves this through political blackmail. And so, Kim, as an ambitious person, is very flattered by Putin’s offer to join the war in Ukraine. However, Igor Eidman does not expect long-term activity from North Korea.

“I don’t think the DPRK soldiers will take an active part in this war. West and force them to make concessions,” the political scientist said.

Eidman showed similar Russian behavior with the example of the presence of North Korean officials in Moscow, while the Kremlin officially denies the presence of North Korean military personnel. If Putin needed secrecy, the DPRK troops would be carefully hidden, but this demonstration move is also a kind of way to blackmail the West.
