Chinese President Xi Jinping is about to set foot on North Korean soil after a long hiatus of nearly seven years. On the surface, this may appear to be a normal and formal bilateral visitHowever, experts of international politics say that this visit is not limited to just a courtesy meeting. It is a big and clear signal of the rapidly changing global order after the Ukraine war, efforts to encircle China in the Asia-Pacific region, and the creation of new military lines between the great powers.
When Xi Jinping and dictator Kim Jong-un face off on the same stage in Pyongyang‘B, then the eyes of the whole world will be on their body language and collective speech. In fact, relations between Russia and North Korea have strengthened recently due to the Ukraine crisis. Now, China’s direct entry into the equation has given rise to a new triangular axis. The alliance is designed to directly challenge the Tripartite Security Treaty between the United States, South Korea and Japan.

South Korea, meanwhile, has expressed concern that Pyongyang’s acquisition of advanced Chinese military technology will endanger peace in the entire region.‘B may be.
A secret and important aspect of this whole trip is related to Russia. Kim Jong Un has recently supplied Moscow with large quantities of ammunitionIn return, Russia has helped North Korea with space and missile technology. China has so far kept itself out of the equation, but Xi Jinping’s visit makes it clear that Beijing is now ready to openly lead the group. This could lead to a new arms race in Asia.
