Serious anxiety: China is worried about sending troops to the DPRK to the Russian Federation - the media

In China, it is concerned that the introduction of the DPRK in a conflict against Ukraine on the side of the Russian Federation will have dangerous consequences, threaten the positions of the Middle Kingdom in Asia and can unite the China's opponents against it. The entry of military DPRK on the side of the Russian Federation in the war against Ukraine makes China seriously concern to this issue because of a number of risks that are threatened by the Middle Kingdom.

Beijing is aware of the global consequences of such a decision and tries to find an appropriate response plan, according to the analytical material of The Guardian. The fact of the presence of military people from North Korea means for China to involve Asia in the war in Europe, which risks dangerously expanded and influence Beijing's position in the region where the PRC is trying to keep the US and allies "at a distance".

However, serious economic problems within the Celestial are forcing Chinese authorities to change their strategy. Journalists write that the trust between the DPRK and the PRC has seriously asked for active cooperation with Pyongyang and Moscow, but in Beijing itself is not in a hurry to reduce the help of Kim Jong -in.

Despite this, it remains unclear how China plans to influence its neighbor, because even China leaders did not know in advance about the movement of troops and the agreement between the Russian Federation and North Korea. At present, the official Beijing is keeping a silent pause, and the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman was asked about the presence of the DPRK troops in the Russian Federation that they were the cases of Moscow itself. State Chinese media were silent about this situation.

Analysts believe that this official silence lies serious anxiety among the ruling circles of China. Since the departure of the DPRK to Russia means that it destroys the previously built concept of Xi Jinping about the "common fate" of the cooperation of countries. And despite the official relations that the PRC greets the closest relationship of Pyongyang and Moscow, in the most likely they do not believe what they say, and this situation "became inconvenient" for Chinese authorities.

The media writes that the arrival of military DPRK to Russia risks "moving the new Cold War closer to China" and will balancing the PRC between its strategic allies and economic dependence on the US and Europe. Beijing is unreasonably convinced that the presence of North Korean troops will draw Europe's attention to the problems of East Asia, including Taiwan, and can give impetus to the creation of "Asian NATO".

That is why journalists say, China sees "more harm from sending North Korean forces to Russia than potential benefit. " Currently, the PRC has a difficult situation because Beijing does not want to strengthen the DPRK in Asia, more NATO cohesion, and new more powerful sanctions of the West through economic support of the Russian Federation during the war against Ukraine.

In China, they also try to avoid the failure of Russia, since partnership with the Russian Federation, although it has some differences in Putin's efforts to increase influence in Asian countries, but helps Beijing to adhere to their own concept of counteracting the world order in its favor. "China has spent decades on the settlement of border disputes and the development of productive relations with Russia to create a space for their strategic purposes.

However, these events [arrival of the DPRK troops to the Russian Federation - ed. ] Can greatly change Beijing's plans," - said Professor of International Law, Peter Datton from the US Navy. We will remind, Focus wrote that the former US Department official David Tafuri stated that three more countries could send their troops to the Russian Federation in the war against Ukraine. According to the extent, such states are China, Syria and Iran.
