Recently, the DPRK delegation led a high-level diplomatic visit to China and held high-level talks with the Chinese side. The visit comes amid escalating tensions on the peninsula, with North Korea condemning the United States and South Korea for escalating tensions and firing a short-range missile. This series of events has touched the nerves of the entire East Asian region, and the changes in China-DPRK relations have also attracted widespread attention. Once the relationship between North Korea and China opens up to a new level, it may be too late for South Korea to come back. DPRK Vice Foreign Minister Pak Myong-ho visited China as head of the Foreign Ministry delegation, which was the first high-level public meeting in four years, and was of great significance. The two sides discussed the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the DPRK and China next year and exchanged views on how to strengthen and develop bilateral relations, South Korea reported. In addition, they discussed the possibility of strengthening strategic cooperation between the DPRK and China in the future. This visit is also of special historical significance in China-DPRK relations. Over the past 70 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the DPRK, the friendship between China and the DPRK has endured a long history, but in recent years, the international landscape has undergone tremendous changes, and China-DPRK relations have also been constantly evolving.
North Korea's rare diplomatic move means that the two sides are working together in a new direction of cooperation, which may have a far-reaching impact on the regional situation. Prior to this, the DPRK high-level paid an official visit to Russia. While the two sides did not issue a joint statement or sign an agreement, Russia's Putin made it clear that the two sides discussed "all issues," including the possibility of bilateral military cooperation. This means that North Korea may receive military assistance from Russia to further strengthen its military capabilities. This potential collaboration has raised strong concerns in countries such as the United States, Japan and South Korea. Upon arrival at Pyongyang International Airport, the head of the Russian Maritime Consular Administration, Oleg Kozhemyako, received flowers from a North Korean woman. This detail demonstrates the DPRK's recognition of the importance of Russia and the importance it attaches to the relations between the two sides. In the middle of last month, North Korea launched the "Wanli Jing-1" reconnaissance satellite, a move that aroused the alarm of the United States, Japan, and South Korea, and led the three countries to condemn the act as a violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions.
The North Korean side insisted that the launch was an exercise of "North Korea's right to self-defense" and decided to continue launching more reconnaissance satellites. In response to North Korea's nuclear and missile threats, the United States and South Korea signed a new version of the Customized Deterrence Strategy, the first revision of the agreement in a decade. Under the agreement, the United States pledged to use all military forces, including nuclear, to defend South Korea in the event of a nuclear attack by North Korea. In the face of North Korea's escalating military plans, the United States, Japan and South Korea conducted trilateral defense Xi. Footage of North Korea's launch of the "Wanli Jing-1" reconnaissance satellite was reported by South Korean television. Twenty-six days later, North Korea fired another short-range ballistic missile. North Korea condemned the U.S. nuclear-powered submarine USS Missouri for docking at the Busan Naval Operating Base, calling it a "rehearsal for nuclear war." The missile was launched from the sea off the east coast of North Korea and flew about 570 kilometers before crashing into the sea. According to Japanese media reports, the missile fell outside Japan's exclusive economic zone. North Korea's move could be a response to joint U.S.-Japan-South Korea military exercises and allies' deterrence measures against North Korea in an effort to highlight its military might.
Under the tense situation on the Korean Peninsula, the new trend of Sino-DPRK cooperation will attract widespread attention. The U.S. nuclear-powered submarine USS Missouri is currently docked at the Naval Operating Base in Busan. It is reported that the straight-line distance from Pyongyang's Sunan to Busan is about 550 kilometers, and this move is seen as a military threat to North Korea. South Korea will also pay close attention to whether cooperation between China and North Korea will directly affect the situation on the peninsula, and the strengthened cooperation may make North Korea more assertive in regional affairs and take more aggressive actions, thus posing a greater security threat to South Korea. China has always advocated peace talks in East Asia and is committed to promoting peaceful development in the region. If the ROK fails to understand and adapt to this attitude of peaceful development and continues to support the tense US measures on the Korean Peninsula, it will have an adverse impact on peace in the entire East Asian region. In Beijing, Wang Yi met with Vice Foreign Minister Pak Myung-ho of the DPRK.
