Beyond the fighting on Ukraine’s frontlines, a global undeclared war is unraveling. China has built a vast network of proxy forces that stoke conflicts worldwide to undermine its primary adversary, the United States.
The growing Russia-China-North Korea-Iran alliance exchanges money, expertise, and military technologies, and plants de@dly technology in the hands of rogue states.
Although China hashtag its importance, the front in Ukraine is critical to Beijing’s interests. To aid Russia, China has forged a complex economic-military alliance through a trilateral arrangement with Russia and North Korea that functions as follows:
💡A circular yuan flow – Russia obtains yuan from selling oil to China, which it reinvests in North Korea.
💡North Korea uses those yuan to procure Chinese materials, components, electronics, and machinery to produce weapons and military equipment for Russia in support of its aggression against Ukraine
💡Russia reciprocally acquires industrial goods like machinery, components, and microelectronics from China using the yuan proceeds.
💡Russia comprehensively bolsters North Korea’s strategic missile, nuclear, and submarine programs through technology transfers, including sharing ballistic missile expertise.
This trilateral arrangement allows Russia to circumvent sanctions imposed due to the invasion of Ukraine, enables North Korea to fund its military development, and provides China with economic leverage, all while indirectly challenging US power through its allies.
