Many experts believe that North Korea’s improving ties with Russia have weakened the North Korea–China relationship. Circumstantial evidence and one-dimensional analysis of political developments between Pyongyang and Beijing and ongoing Pyongyang-Moscow cooperation often result in this view. However, examining these three countries’ dynamics merely through the lens of current events without considering their historical backgrounds or the driving forces behind the changes in the strategic landscape poses clear analytical limitations. In particular, the North Korea-Russia
Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership signed in June 2024, while solidifying their alliance, does not explain everything. To do so would be a fundamental misunderstanding of this triangular relationship.
