China has reason to be wary of this new phase of Kim Jong Un's alliance with Russia's Vladimir Putin.
China has remained mum about the deployment of thousands of North Korean troops to Russia in recent weeks.The U.S. and its allies view the development, which followed the signing in June of the first Russia-North Korea military agreement since the Cold War, as a dangerous escalation of Vladimir Putin's 33-month war against Ukraine and tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
China also wields considerable influence over Kim Jong Un's regime, having for decades propped up its state-controlled economy to prevent a regime collapse that could drive millions of North Korean refugees across the Chinese border.At the same time, China has used its seat on the U.N. Security Council to vote for sanctions after Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, detonated North Korea's first nuclear bomb in 2006.
