russia needs china more than china needs russia

Bobby Turkalino

Also North Korea needs China more than China needs North Korea. Not sure what China even gets out of that relationship

Matt

China just wants North Korea to keep existing to serve as a buffer. If North Korea falls, it would almost certainly unite with South Korea. Then a very strong ally of the United States with many American military bases would directly border China.

@davel@lemmy.ml

An ally? All things being equal, there is no reason for socialist states to not cooperate with each other, especially in opposition to capitalist states which never stop trying to tear them down.

@cabron_offsets@lemmy.world

China gets to enjoy the unsavory actions of NK that align with its interests while maintaining an arm’s length from such bullshit.

@freagle@lemmygrad.ml

First tell: “perceived Western hegemony”.

Second tell: zero-sum thinking regarding Russia-China influence and economy

Third tell: the loud implication that China building relationships in Central Asia is a threat to Russian influence, as though China’s presence there would be an equal threat to Russia as if the West was building up relationships there

This is schlock

@Stizzah@lemmygrad.ml

China’s need to maintain strong ties with Europe and the U.S.

Nope, it’s the other way around: strong ties with China are convenient to Europe and US, but China don’t need them anymore.

Answer: Soviets in favor of the Soviet Union.
