June 19, 2024: Niklas Swanström, ISDP’s Executive Director, was interviewed by Reuters on “China keeps its distance as Russia and North Korea deepen ties”.
China would most likely become concerned if North Korea’s partnership with Russia leads to provocative behavior that makes the regional situation more difficult for Beijing, said Niklas Swanström.
“China wants to do trade, rebuild its economy; they have other more important concerns,” he said.
