Beijing quiet as North Korea turns up the heat with missile tests

Al Jazeera  

Beijing is North Korea’s only ally, but domestic challenges and global power politics may keep it from acting. “In the past, China constructively hosted the Six-party Talks and was willing to join UN Security Council sanctions against North Korea’s nuclear and missile programmes. Historic ties As two of the few Communist countries left in the world, North Korea and China are each other’s only treaty allies, and Beijing yields enormous influence over the deeply isolated nation. Yun, who is also a senior fellow and co-director of the East Asia Program at the Stimson Center, said the ongoing competition between Beijing and Washington “means China is hoarding strategic leverage, and its relations with North Korea, and potential influence.” While always tense, relations between the US and China soured under the presidency of Donald Trump, and they have not markedly improved since President Joe Biden took office last year. “It’s not in China’s interest to have a regional military build-up in South Korea and Japan that people pretend is just about North Korea, but it’s actually also about countering and constraining China.”
