The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
The visit to North Korea by China and Russia is an attempt to rebuke the US. A chance to show a tripartite stand against the US-led international order is a primary motivation. These powers are playing a dangerous game in trusting North Korea, known for its unpredictable hostility and potential to escalate tension.
Establishment-critical narrative
The visits by Beijing and Moscow to Pyongyang show unity in the face of American aggression, just like 70 years ago. China will continue to strive for a peaceful and stable society and will continue to repel forces that continue to prohibit such a mission.
