Pekingology · Can China Control North Korea? · 28 May 2026 podcast

And intentionally, I think, put aside historical areas of friction in pursuit of this broader strategic partnership. matched

And then you have North Korea. matched

Which seems to just like be a particularly naughty problem for Beijing as it thinks about its relationship with Moscow, but then also what that means for leverage. matched

So how do you see the development of that China, Russia, DPRK, Nexus to the degree there is what in? matched

Because of course we're really talking about different bilateral relationships. matched

And then what does China think about it? matched

Putin and Kim Jong un on either side, which I was actually really surprised to see. matched

Because it seems like China generally wants to like bilateralize those relationships. matched

And it's not like that photo happened by accident. matched

It's very convincing when you have to insist. matched

It seems like if you look at the North Korea Russia relationship, like the transactions that anchor it, Beijing's probably, I mean, fine with the support that North Korea is providing to the Russians when it comes to the war in Ukraine. matched

I mean, Beijing itself is providing systematic large scale support for the war effort, but stopping short of direct, finished lethal assistance because they're more worried about sanctions in a way that North Korea just isn't. matched

But then the support in the other direction seems much more problematic from Beijing's perspective to your point because of how Kim Jong-un could be, I mean, just psychologically emboldened to take greater risks that could undermine stability, but also there's like a real capability question of what the Russians are providing. matched

But it seems like if China matched

is trying to do anything about this. matched

It's not going to be using leverage with the Russians or using leverage with matched

the North Koreans, because they seem to believe in this and I mean many other scenarios that using kind of pressure tactics would only decrease their influence. matched
