Xi, Putin, and Kim: Unity or Discord?
The Power of Unity: Xi, Putin, and Kim’s Show of Strength
When the leaders of China, Russia, and North Korea appeared together on a Beijing red carpet, it was a powerful visual of unity against the West. But experts say this display may have only masked underlying tensions and fissures between the three nations.
The Unstoppable Rise of China
Chinese President Xi Jinping boasted that this gathering was a testament to China's unstoppable rise on the global stage. However, analysts point out that this event may have been more of a show of China's soft power, rather than a true display of strength and unity.
Behind the Scenes
While the three leaders may have put on a united front, behind the scenes, there are still conflicting interests and power dynamics at play. Both Russia and China have been critical of North Korea's nuclear ambitions, while North Korea has been hesitant to fully align with either country.
