According to media reports, Trump has openly stated that he is willing to meet with Kim Jong-un, and has also suggested among his remarks that it does not rule out the possibility of recognizing North Korea as a nuclear power.
This makes people feel strange. Trump's attitude towards North Korea was not very good before, and he joined forces with Japan and South Korea to put pressure on North Korea. So why did he suddenly start to "show kindness" to North Korea?
This matter is actually not that simple. Trump has always been a man who cannot afford anything without benefits. His suppression and wooing of North Korea are all based on his own interests. Trump currently has two headaches, one is Russia and the other is China.
Let's first look at Russia. Regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Trump has no choice but to deal with Putin. Europe supports Ukraine in every way, but Russia is fighting harder and harder-especially after receiving strong assistance from North Korea, Russia is even more powerful.
According to foreign media reports, Ukraine has experienced military morale instability. For example, Ukraine's 120th Territorial Defense Brigade fled without fighting, and the Red Army City, the last position of the Ukrainian army, also began to see some soldiers violate orders to defend and begin to retreat spontaneously.
In Trump's view, the situation on the Russia-Ukraine battlefield was originally within his control, and he could even end the Russia-Ukraine conflict as quickly as possible. But because of North Korea's participation, the situation got out of control.
Therefore, Trump has to attach great importance to North Korea's power and try to talk to it or even make some concessions in exchange for North Korea's support for his mediation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
However, many scholars believe that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has come to an end, and Ukraine can no longer fight.
As David, former British Chief of Defense Staff, once bluntly said: Western allies have given Ukraine false hope that unless NATO troops directly join the battle, Ukraine will not win.
Moreover, the Russian side also successfully test-fired a nuclear-powered cruise missile. The Russian side claimed that the missile's range was actually unlimited and could break through any anti-missile system, which undoubtedly showed Trump Russia's strength.
Then there is China. Since Putin can't be handled at present, Trump naturally wants to suppress China.
Judging from the current situation in East Asia, since takaichi sanae came to power, many scholars are worried that Japan's foreign policy may become more radical. After all, when the Komeito Party is still in the ruling coalition, it can still restrain some tendencies of the Liberal Democratic Party.
But now that there is an obviously more radical Reform Party, coupled with such a radical prime minister as sanae takaichi, Japan may stir up the situation in Northeast Asia, or even take an unknown direction in serious cases.
As long as the turmoil in Northeast Asia continues, China’s development will inevitably be affected, and even Trump has failed to use Japan and Korea again to curb China’s rise.
In this case, the status of North Korea becomes prominent. If Trump really has the opportunity to win over North Korea, let it stay out of the blockade of China by the United States, Japan and South Korea, or even let Japan and South Korea intervene in the Taiwan Province issue, it will cause great trouble to China.
Only Trump’s intentional calculation, I’m afraid, will also miss out.
For Trump's hint, Kim Jong-un has always been less cold, and he has previously stated that the longer the time is on our side, the longer the time is more favorable to us. At the time, there was an analysis that North Korea had no intention of rushing to restore the dialogue with the United States.
It is also true that North Korea hasined friendly relations with China and is not at all tempted by Trump.
At the 80th anniversary celebration of the Labour Party, Kim Jong-un made it clear that he will respond to external pressure with a super-hard gesture and must build the country into an excellent socialist paradise.
He also said that, regardless of how the international situation changes, strengthening and developing the friendship and cooperation between the DPRK and China is North Korea’s unwavering stance, and even he openly stressed that the DPRK firmly supports the one-China principle, and firmly opposes Taiwan’s separatist conduct and any external interference.
Of course, the North Korean side is not just saying it, it is always doing it.
On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army's departure to the DPRK, Kim Jong-un not only attended the Volunteer Army martyrs' mountain garden, silently commemorated the volunteer army martyrs, but also seldom nodded on his knees and sincerely gifted flowers to the Hong Kong tomb of Mao.
In addition, the two sides held the opening ceremony of the Volunteer Army Martyrs' Lonely Garden repair project in North Korea's Yellow Sea North Road, and will start the repair of six volunteer Army Martyrs' Lonely Garden projects.
At that time, there were media reports, which marked that a new round of repair and protection work had entered the stage of full implementation, further highlighting the friendship between China and the DPRK.
In addition, according to the data of September this year, China's exports to North Korea increased by 30.75% year-on-year, reaching USD 228.1 million, a month-on-month increase of 54.53%. Foreign media commented that under the background of international sanctions against North Korea, China is still North Korea's largest trading partner and key pillar of its economy.
From these contents can be seen that the relationship between the two countries is quite close, and it is by no means Trump's three words and two words can shake.
For example, laying flowers to Mao Anying is obviously expressing gratitude to the China Volunteer Army for assisting North Korea in its fight against the United States.
Mourning the volunteer soldiers obviously emphasizes that China and North Korea should cooperate to fight against the hegemonism of the United States and the West, and the two socialist countries should advance together rain or shine.
As for the repairs of the Volunteer Army Martyrdom and the increase in imports to China, this shows that North Korea and China’s friendship cannot be easily challenged.
It is foreseeable that Trump wants to use the newly appointed sanae takaichi to do things in Northeast Asia. I'm afraid the plan to restrict China's development is not so easy to realize. He is calculating in vain!
As reported by Lianhe Zaobao, U.S. Ambassador to Japan Glass called on Japan to share the task of deterrence against China. However, in the face of multiple short-range ballistic missiles launched by North Korea, sanae takaichi still had to be distracted from others, and also called on the United States to take all necessary measures including sharing North Korean missile information in real time.
In short, North Korea has a unique position at present, not only gaining unprecedented development opportunities, but also standing on the cusp of opposing hegemony and jointly building a new international political order with China.
I believe that with the development of time, North Korea will be able to break the blockade of hegemony with China and create a better future together.As the Korean song, “Socialism along the way, hold hands, will create a new chapter in great history!”
