Beijing backs Kim Jong-un's nuclear power

In the context of increasing rivalry with the United States and following Japan's decision to double its military budget, China has expressed its support for North Korea's nuclear program led by Kim Jong-un. This stance marks a significant shift in Beijing's policy regarding the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, in light of an increasingly tense geopolitical environment.

The relationship between North Korea and its neighbors, particularly Japan and the United States, has deteriorated, prompting China to strengthen its alliance with Pyongyang. This support comes at a time when hostilities towards both nations are escalating, making North Korea a strategic ally for Beijing.
