In order to ensure the smooth progress of the meeting, the Russian side has adopted strict secrecy measures. Kim Jong-un wittily chose to take a special train into Russia before announcing his itinerary, showing great diplomatic skills.
Kim Jong-un's move has drawn great concern from the United States, which fears that North Korea's involvement will undermine their good deeds. It is worth noting that Kim Jong-un deliberately bypassed China on the way and did not stop in China.
Although relations between China and North Korea have always been friendly, why doesn't Kim Jong-un stay in China? Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and North Korea in 1949, the two countries have maintained close relations.
In 1950, major changes took place in the relations between China and North Korea. The outbreak of the Korean War made *** deeply aware of the warning of cold lips and teeth, so he resolutely decided to send volunteers across the Yalu River to participate in the war to defend the peace of Korea.
The soldiers of the Chinese Volunteers paid a huge price to maintain the stability of the Korean region, and many martyrs sacrificed their lives in exchange for the victory of the war.
Since then, China and North Korea have become close "brothers". China continues to provide technical support to the DPRK and send scholars for academic exchanges. However, with the emergence of North Korea's economic difficulties, relations between China and North Korea gradually drifted apart, and North Korea began to lean towards Russia and other countries.
However, this did not last long. After the outbreak of the Korean Peninsula issue, China once again firmly supported the DPRK and provided a large amount of supplies to help its economic recovery.
Since Kim Jong-un took office, China and North Korea have become even closer, visiting China four times in a decade.
Kim Jong-un celebrated his 35th birthday in China to show respect for China, stressing that "China-North Korea relations, established by the hands of the older generation of leaders, are firm and unshakable."
As a good neighbor and partner of the DPRK, China has always been consistent. Under the guidance of China's leaders, he sought advice on the Korean Peninsula, relations with the United States, and addressing issues such as people's livelihood and economic development.
Kim Jong-un's choice to "circumvent China" during his visit to Russia is not because his enthusiasm for China has waned, but because he is better protected for his security. In the past, Kim Jong-un usually made a "stopover" in China or rented a special Chinese plane when he visited Russia, but this time North Korea has taken a new step to replace the floor of the train with bulletproof material to ensure that Kim Jong-un's personal safety is impeccable.
Under the current global situation, both China and Russia are facing greater pressure. The United States is trying to unite Western countries and use Ukraine as a tool to suppress Russia, the world's second largest power, in order to consolidate its hegemony.
And China, as a challenger to the sudden rise, has brought new variables to the situation. In the past, relations between China and the United States have been relatively good, largely due to China's long-term service to the United States, earning most of its economic benefits, while taking on more domestic pressure itself.
China is aware of its independent status, is no longer under the control of the United States, and even has ambitions to surpass it. This surprised the United States, which is still on the rise despite years of suppressing China.
As a result, Biden has stepped up surveillance of China. Kim Jong-un's talks with Putin under heavy pressure have already angered the United States, and if he ventures to visit China again, it will undoubtedly panic Western countries and change the international situation.
The United States is constantly monitoring China and Russia, and any small action will be exaggerated and interpreted by the West, and a large amount of negative information will be instilled into the minds of foreigners, thus triggering them to have a bad prejudice against China.
Purely from the ** side, the United States is trying to control China's image. If Kim Jong-un does not deliberately keep his distance from China, once the United States finds out, the original goodwill visit may be misunderstood as a military conspiracy by China, Russia, and the DPRK, and we will be put on our heads with a huge conspiracy hat, which will have a negative impact on our international image and our own development.
Kim Jong-un understands the intentions of the United States, so he directly contains the problem at the source and does not give Biden a chance to interfere. If the leaders of the two countries have not been in contact, how can there be a military conspiracy?
As a matter of fact, the Russian-DPRK meeting was not a whim, but was foreshadowed. At a time when the fate of the Russian front line is uncertain, the Russian defense minister personally went to the DPRK, which shows that the DPRK must give great support to the Russian side.
It is speculated that North Korea's recently announced development of tactical nuclear submarines may have received technical support and assistance from Russia, which also explains why Kim Jong-un will travel thousands of miles to visit Russia by special train to provide equipment for Russian soldiers who are on the front line during this special period, and hopes to arrive as soon as possible and hold talks with Putin.
Compared to going through Chinese territory, it is obviously faster to go directly to Russia from the Tumen River bridge. And if he chooses to fly, Kim Jong-un will also need to communicate with China's leaders, which will undoubtedly waste a lot of time.
The United States is well aware of the deep relations between China and North Korea, and once Russia joins, it will pose a huge threat to it. Therefore, the United States is trying to draw North Korea into its camp by sowing discord.
To this day, however, relations between North Korea and the United States remain tense. Although the United States has repeatedly offered to meet with Kim Jong-un, it has been refused. The United States has been trying to undermine relations between the three countries, but it did not expect that stealing chickens would not lead to rice, and North Korea would become more dependent on China and Russia, and even threatened the United States with nuclear weapons.
North Korea's support for Russia has led to concerns that it will weaken their ties with China. However, Kim Jong-un was quick to say that China's diplomatic relations with North Korea would always come first, which reassured China.
As a result, the relationship between China and North Korea will only grow closer, and the leaders of the two countries know that only close unity can resist the pressure of the capitalist state and win the final victory.
