“China has an incentive to support Russia to divert attention from the US.”
There were concerns that North Korea‘s large-scale deployment of troops to Russia could elevate the war in Ukraine into a problem for all countries in the world.
Rob Harris, a European correspondent for the Sydney Morning Herald, made this diagnosis in an article titled ‘North Korean troops fighting for Russia is a worldwide wake-up call’ on the 19th (local time). I put it out.
He said in the article that if true, this would be “a terrible turning point in the war,” adding, “This confirms what I have long suspected. “Russia is now asking its allies and its unofficial allies, Iran and China, for help,” he pointed out.
He points out that if North Korea and other countries support Russia, it will become a problem not only because of the war itself but also because of Russia’s ‘cost’. He cited the remarks of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary-General Mark Rutte and expressed concern that war would become “a problem for all of us.”
In particular, he was concerned about the situation where Russia is transferring its capabilities and know-how to North Korea, China, and Iran in exchange for support. In addition, it was predicted that if Russia relies on North Korea, it will be able to obtain up to 12.8 million active-duty troops.
Prior to North Korea’s large-scale deployment of troops to Russia, Iran is known to have already provided Shahed drones to Russia. He also pointed out that China is contributing to financing Russia’s war through actions such as purchasing Russian energy.
Furthermore, his view is that China may try to divert the United States’ attention from the Indo-Pacific region by providing behind-the-scenes support to Russia in the Ukraine war. In this case, the intention is that it will not be helpful to major countries in the region, including Australia.
In this context, he said, “This war could become everyone’s problem in the very near future.” Euronews also said on the same day, “(North Korea’s Russian) deployment of troops will force a third party to intervene in the war and strengthen the confrontation between North Korea and the West.”
Previously, the National Intelligence Service announced that North Korea began the process of sending special forces through a Russian naval transport ship starting on the 8th. The first batch of troops will be dispatched to about 1,500 people, and the National Intelligence Service estimates that future deployments could reach 10,000 troops.
