Chinese President Xi Jinping has reaffirmed China’s stance on North Korea, stating that its position on the bilateral ties will not change. This comes after Xi held talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who also attended a military parade in Beijing alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin to commemorate the end of World War II. The continued close relationship between China and North Korea is seen as a crucial factor in the geopolitical dynamics of the region, as the two countries maintain significant economic and political ties. However, the international community has consistently called for China to use its influence to curb North Korea’s nuclear ambitions and provocative behavior. The latest comments from Xi suggest that China is unlikely to significantly alter its approach, despite the ongoing concerns about North Korea’s actions.
