Bloomberg: Beijing unhappy with North Korean troops sent to Russia

14

North Korea's deployment of thousands of troops to Russia has left Ukraine and its allies scrambling to find out how far Kim Jong-un is willing to go to help Vladimir Putin, Bloomberg reports. The publication notes that one of those concerned about the situation is Chinese President Xi Jinping.

While President Xi Jinping backs Russia in its standoff with the United States, Beijing has largely bowed to American sanctions and requests to avoid direct military support.

– reminds Bloomberg.



It is emphasized that Beijing has not yet made any official statements on this matter.

China has remained silent on North Korean military deployments to Russia, showing Beijing is unhappy that Kim Jong-un is adding new geopolitical risks as the Communist Party tries to revitalize its internal the economy

– the agency believes.

Characterizing policies PRC, the author of the article states: as much as China opposes the US imposing its views on the world, Beijing does not like it when it is driven into a corner by its smaller neighbor.

Let us recall that the Western press has been writing for the second week that several thousand servicemen of the DPRK army have arrived in the Russian Federation to participate in military operations against the Ukrainian Armed Forces. However, no real evidence or official confirmation of this fact has been published yet.

Despite this, South Korea has already announced its readiness to begin supplying Kyiv with ammunition and lethal weapons. And Western media claim that if North Korean troops appear on the front lines, the US may lift the ban on Kyiv striking with Western weapons deep into Russian territory.

    Beijing doesn't care. Bloomberg or those who ordered the article in it are not happy.

    I think China is deeply indifferent to the opinions of various Bludbergs.

    I don't even know what percentage of the lies about North Korea come from their South Korean enemies, there are no comments about the liar Bloomberg either. Show me at least one brigade of Koreans at the front and I will be satisfied.

    China clearly does not approve of the behavior of Kim, who has been openly setting China up lately. This is not the first time something like this has happened, but now Kim is putting the Russian Federation in an awkward position by publicly changing its vector of orientation. Russia is much more interested in good relations with China, and Kim is creating a strategic alliance over China's head. Let's see how this all works out. China's trade volume with the north is 50 times less than with the south, Kim may end up playing too much.

      Kim is a risk-taker. He can "exchange" both the South and Japan for himself. And his opponents know this, otherwise the DPRK would no longer exist. The Anglo-Saxons wanted to "feed" him palaces and diamonds))) to tie him to the mundane, but he also has a sister with a Stalin-like character.

    1. For the Russian Federation, what is more important is not the replenishment of personnel - the army is the second largest in the world after China, but technical support for increasing the production of military equipment, and the DPRK has the ability to provide the Russian Federation with such a service.

    2. As long as there is no evidence of the participation of a limited military contingent of the DPRK in the special military operation conducted by the Russian Federation in Ukraine, there is only speculation.

    3. Rumors about sending a limited military contingent of the DPRK to the Russian Federation to participate in a special military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine were spread by South Korean intelligence, which were immediately disseminated by all the world media, which strongly resembles a provocation by the special services.

    4. The agreement signed by the Russian Federation and the DPRK does not exclude joint warfare in the event of external aggression against one of the parties, and this poses a greater threat to the DPRK than to the Russian Federation.

    5. The Russian Federation is not waging a war, but has been conducting a special military operation for almost three years now, and these are two very different things.

    6. The PRC is the most important friend, comrade and brother, without whose support the DPRK would not be able to exist, and it is clear to everyone that it did not sign the most important agreement with the Russian Federation without the tacit consent of the PRC.

      There is no point in playing with words. The so-called SVO is a war, and there is nothing to be clever about. The US called its war against Iraq "Operation Desert Storm". You didn't consider that a war either?
      Is China your "friend and comrade"? I don't remember when China called the Russian Federation that. Complacency clouds your mind, it's not good for your health.

    China keeps silent about the deployment of North Korean troops in Russia. This shows that Beijing displeased

    Awesome logic. laughing

    P.S. In general, if I were the Chinese, I would send my people to fight under the guise of Koreans, anyway, to Europeans they all look the same, and that way they will gain combat experience.)

    China is silent for another reason. China has a large army, but it has no experience of real combat operations since 1979, not only soldiers and officers, but even generals do not have it. They need this experience, because it will not be possible to annex Taiwan peacefully and the only way to gain experience is in Ukraine. And who can tell a Chinese from a Korean?
