During Putin's first visit to Pyongyang since 2000, both Russia and North Korea showcased their friendship, with Kim Jong-un declaring full support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. However, the true power in the region lies with China, as Beijing is the crucial source of trade and influence for both sanctioned regimes. Despite Putin praising his 'solid friendship' with Kim, the limit to this friendship is China's President Xi Jinping. The alliance between Putin and Kim is viewed with caution by Beijing, which is observing signs that Xi does not support a rapid development of the alliance between the two allies. China, who depends on foreign tourists and investments to boost its economy, is crucial for both Russia and North Korea, making their relationship with China more significant than their own mutual interests.
