Title: The "War Legacy" Behind North Korea's Military Rise: Historical Convergence, Exploring the New Global Military Pattern.
Recently, North Korea's military-industrial technology products have stunned the world, from intercontinental ballistic missiles to hypersonic missiles to military reconnaissance satellites. What's going on here?North Korea, the target of U.N. sanctions, has come to prominence in two modern wars that have nothing to do with it. This is by no means just an arms race, but a unique phenomenon inherited from war.
Specific events in the military rise of the DPRK.
As foreign media reports roll in, we suddenly realize that North Korea is playing a pivotal role in two modern wars that have nothing to do with it. How did this happen?Historically, World War II had caused Japan a great deal of suffering, but in the 1950s, the outbreak of the Korean War led to Japan's economic recovery. In the same way, South Korea suffered a setback in this war, but it laid the industrial foundation and took off economically in the ensuing long war in Vietnam.
Does the fact that these two countries benefited from the war also indicate that North Korea will usher in a new opportunity for development?At present, North Korea is facing the war in Ukraine and the small conflict in the Middle East, which seems to provide a great boon for it. This is not to say that North Korea will become another Japan or South Korea, but these two wars may have provided North Korea with much-needed food, energy, and technology.
North Korea's military cooperation with Russia.
Russia, as a top military power, is exactly the partner that North Korea desperately needs. The report notes that almost all of the DPRK's ammunition factories are working at full capacity to produce and deliver ** and ammunition to Russia in an unprecedented way. What's even more amazing is that many of the most advanced systems of Soviet origin in the North Korean army are compatible with the most advanced systems in service with the Russian army, which solves the problem of a serious shortage of ammunition in the Russian army.
This is not only a simple exchange, but also a real military cooperation. Russia obtains military technology from North Korea, and North Korea receives wheat, natural gas, and oil from Russia, creating a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. This kind of military cooperation has not only boosted the DPRK's military industry, but also provided it with the economic resources it needs for development.
North Korea's role in the Middle East conflict.
However, North Korea's military cooperation is not limited to tacit cooperation with Russia. In the Middle East conflict, North Korea has provided a large amount of ** equipment, and the Hamas armed forces have used ** originating in North Korea. The F-7 rocket-propelled grenade captured by the Israeli army turned out to be a Soviet RPG-7VM copied by North KoreaThe North Korean Type 58 automatic rifle displayed by Hamas members in ** turned out to be derived from the Soviet Union's AK-47.
This kind of military assistance is not only the provision of **, but also involves technical and tactical assistance. South Korean intelligence** noted that some of the tactics used by Hamas in the conflict were very similar to those used by North Korea in 2016 during a simulated military training exercise Xi attack on the South Korean government in Seoul**. This may be far-fetched, but it is undeniable that North Korea's ties to the Middle East were established many years ago.
Huge benefits for North Korea's global military cooperation.
North Korea not only maintains close ties with Russia and the Middle East, but also has a long history of military cooperation with Iran, Syria and other places. This cooperation has not only boosted the DPRK's military industry, but also won it huge economic and technological benefits. Iran has become North Korea's closest partner in the Middle East, and Iran has acquired ballistic missile technology and related equipment through North Korea.
This kind of global military cooperation has given North Korea an advantageous position in the military field. Through cooperation with its affiliated armed forces, the DPRK has been able to continuously optimize its own missile technology in actual combat and has made substantial technological breakthroughs. This is undoubtedly a great success for a country that has been under international sanctions for a long time.
Netizen comments. 
On major social platforms, this article has caused a lot of discussion. Some netizens said that North Korea's military cooperation is actually taking advantage of the whirlpool of the global situation to continuously consolidate its military strength. One netizen commented: "North Korea's strategic vision is really impressive, and it has won the commanding heights of the global military pattern by cooperating with major military forces." ”
However, some netizens expressed concern about North Korea's military rise. A netizen who is concerned about the international situation expressed his opinion: "Although North Korea's military cooperation provides it with opportunities for development, it may also exacerbate regional tensions and bring undesirable consequences." ”
Overall, North Korea's global military cooperation has not only made a remarkable breakthrough in military strength, but has also aroused widespread attention and discussion in the international community. Behind this phenomenon is the fact that the DPRK has flexibly responded to the international situation and created new opportunities for its own development through military cooperation.
The independent point of view of the Chinese.
Looking at the military rise of North Korea, we Chinese have an independent and profound view. Some netizens said that the rise of North Korea's military strength is actually a kind of support from China, which makes China play a more important role in the international military landscape.
On social platforms, many netizens believe that the reason why North Korea has been able to achieve such impressive results in the military field is inseparable from China's support. A netizen commented: "This is no coincidence, China has always been a staunch supporter of North Korea, and military assistance and technical cooperation are all contributing to North Korea's military rise." ”
China's Historical Background and North Korea's Military Heritage.
This unique international relationship is not only a cooperation in the present, but also a deep historical connection. When the Sino-DPRK Friendship Pact was signed in the last century, China and the DPRK established a solid foundation for military cooperation. It is against this historical background that North Korea has been able to use its cooperation with China to achieve a rapid rise in military power.
Chinese netizens generally have a sense of pride in this historical heritage. Someone wrote on social **: "This is not only a victory for North Korea, but also a victory for our China." Our cooperation not only brings North Korea out of international isolation, but also gives China more say in international affairs. ”
The impact of the rise of North Korea on China.
The rise of North Korea has undoubtedly brought a series of effects to China. First, as an ally of North Korea, China's position in international affairs has been further enhanced. Some netizens commented: "With an ally like North Korea, China is more confident in the international community and better able to defend its rights and interests." ”
Second, the rise of North Korea's military strength has also provided a certain guarantee for China's security and stability in East Asia. Some netizens expressed their agreement with this point: "The rise of North Korea's military strength has indeed increased the confidence for peace and stability in the entire East Asian region, and it is also a support for China's security." ”
Chinese's expectations and worries about North Korea.
However, Chinese have both expectations and concerns about North Korea's rise. Some netizens expressed the hope that the DPRK can make full use of this opportunity to achieve national prosperity and strength, and contribute more to regional peace and stability. At the same time, however, some concerns have been raised about North Korea's rise in power, fearing that it could trigger regional tensions.
It is hoped that the DPRK will be able to maintain friendly relations with other countries and not only have strong military strength, but will also be able to play a constructive role in international affairs. This is a comment left by a netizen who pays attention to the international situation on social **, which also reflects the complex mentality of Chinese about the future development of North Korea.
Summary. The military rise of the DPRK has undoubtedly set off quite a storm in international affairs. As Chinese, we have an independent view of this phenomenon, and hope that the DPRK can develop steadily in this process and contribute more to regional peace and stability. The deep history of cooperation between China and the DPRK also makes us sincerely proud of the DPRK's success. At the same time, we are also observing with concern the impact of the rise of the DPRK on the entire regional landscape and on China itself, and hope that the DPRK's future performance will become a stabilizing factor for regional peace.
