He explained that while North Korea has recently grown rapidly closer to Russia, its economic dependence on China remains absolute, and Russia alone cannot sustain the North Korean economy. China also has strategic reasons for not being able to completely abandon North Korea, so both sides are strengthening their cooperative relationship once again. Regarding the North Korean nuclear issue, he assessed that China maintains strategic ambiguity, neither acknowledging nor denying North Korea's nuclear program. This is because if China officially recognizes North Korea's nuclear program, public opinion in South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan regarding nuclear armament could grow. It was explained that currently, a realistic approach of curbing further nuclear development is gaining traction in the international community, rather than pursuing complete denuclearization. Furthermore, it was argued that as the North Korean nuclear threat intensifies, the need for South Korea to secure nuclear-powered submarines, the Three-Axis system, and enrichment and reprocessing technologies increases. It was analyzed that China has long desired access to the East Sea and holds strategic interest in North Korean ports and the Tumen River region. Conversely, since Russia is also wary of China's expanding influence, the relationship between North Korea, China, and Russia is not merely a cooperative one, but a structure where competition and checks coexist. It was assessed that while South Korea, North Korea, and Russia could all reap significant economic benefits in the long term if the inter-Korean railway, the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the Arctic shipping route were connected, this is currently difficult to realize due to sanctions against North Korea and issues regarding the North Korean regime. Finally, it was mentioned that Kim Ju-ae's frequent public activities are strongly characterized as training for a successor and can also be interpreted in connection with Kim Jong-un's health issues.
