중러 정상회담과 한반도 정세
Thanks for tuning in to Within The Frame. I'm Han Da-eun in Seoul.
The bromance between two old friends, Vladimir Putin of Russia and Xi Jinping of China was on full display as Putin visited China in his first overseas trip since getting reelected.
Celebrating the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations forged between the former Soviet Union and China, the two leaders reaffirmed their “no-limits” partnership that has grown deeper as they face deepening tensions with the West.
Slamming the U.S. and its Western allies for destabilizing security in the Asia Pacific region, they urged them to stop military provocations against North Korea.
For an expert analysis of the Putin-Xi summit and its regional implications, Lim Eun-jung, Associate Professor of International Studies at Kongju National University joins us virtually.
For another perspective, Evans Revere, Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Foreign Policy Program.
(LIM) Q1. President Xi gave Putin a warm welcome calling him an "old friend," while Putin called Russia-China ties a "stabilizing force" in a chaotic world. What’s your overall assessment of Putin’s visit to China?
(REVERE) Q2. As widely expected, Putin and Xi criticized U.S. foreign policy at length, voicing concerns over the U.S.-formed alliances, such as AUKUS, which they called a “Cold War mentality.” How do you see the U.S.-led grouping of like-minded nations, and China and Russia’s stronger unity against it?
(REVERE) Q3. Some point out that President Xi toned down his level of criticism toward the U.S. as he seeks to manage deepening tensions with Washington, and enhance China’s perceived legitimacy on the global stage. When asked about this, State Department spokesman Vedant Patel said “China can't have its cake and eat it too.” What’s your take?
(LIM) Q4. On the war in Ukraine, President Xi said that there should be a "political solution" to the war, and China will continue to play a constructive role, but offered no new proposals. How do you assess China’s stance on Russia’s war against Ukraine?
(REVERE) Q5. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, during his visit to Beijing at the end of last month, warned China that Washington will take action if China does not stop supplying critical items to Russia that fuels the war in Ukraine. But it remains unclear as to whether China will listen. What are your thoughts, and what further action is expected from the U.S.?
(REVERE) Q6. Growing Russia-China military ties is another point of concern. The two countries have strengthened military cooperation during the war in Ukraine, also expanding their joint naval drills near Taiwan. How big of a threat is this to the U.S. and the world?
(LIM) Q7. Putin and Xi, while blaming everything on the U.S., urged the country to stop its “intimidation in the military sphere and provocation” of North Korea. Do you anticipate a closer alignment between China, Russia, and North Korea going forward, and how do you see the chances of President Putin making a surprise visit to Pyongyang after concluding his trip to China?
(LIM) Q8. The South Korea-Japan-China summit is expected to be held here in Seoul at the end of this month. What should South Korea gain from the summit amid deepening cooperation between China, Russia, and North Korea?
And that brings us to the end of this show.
Thank you for watching, Good bye for now.
