Challenges of Renewed North Korea-Chinese Relations

Dong Ryul Lee, Professor at Dongduk Women's University, warns that concerns over the North Korea-China-Russia alignment, appearing after China's recent Victory Day celebrations, are being overstated. The author observes that simplifying the situation into bloc structures could cause the South Korean government to miss opportunities to develop sophisticated and diverse diplomatic strategies. Professor Lee suggests that while the South Korean government should brace for the possibility of North Korea-China-Russia solidarity, it must also simultaneously prepare to carry out refined and creative diplomacy.
