🌏 Understanding China:

China, Russia & North Korea – An Evolving Strategic Triangle

How are the relationships between China, Russia and North Korea changing – and what do these developments mean for security and geopolitics in Northeast Asia?

In our latest “Understanding China” dialogue series, three experts offer different perspectives on the evolving strategic triangle:

Rüdiger FRANK (Professor, University of Vienna)

Namrata HASIJA (Research Fellow, Centre for China Analysis and Strategy)

Dorjsuren NANJIN (Founding Director, Mongolian Institute of Northeast Asian Security and Strategy)

Across four videos, the experts discuss significant events shaping the trilateral relationship, the core motives and misconceptions behind their engagement, the background to increased high-level visits, and possible reasons for change in the trilateral relationship.

The series explores the interests of all three countries and the broader geopolitical dynamics shaping Northeast Asia – from China’s increasingly active international role and Russia’s evolving partnerships to North Korea’s economic and strategic relations with its two major neighbours.

🎥 Watch the full four-part series on YouTube and hear three perspectives on an evolving strategic triangle.
