This is yet a further example that a powerful anti-Western authoritarian alliance is indeed taking shape as North Korea, Russia, and the PRC deepen their ties due to strategic circumstances. While distrust may cause this bloc to collapse in the long run, the West cannot afford to just wait and watch. New and innovative military, diplomatic, and economic strategies are needed to fight autocrats.
China, North Korea, and Russia have all been threatened by the US and its puppet military allies, a situation too reminiscent of the invasion of the Korean Peninsula in 1950. Therefore, by jointly commemorating the 70th anniversary of the North's victory in its Liberation War, they have sent a strong message that the US must stop its wrongdoing to avoid fueling tensions that can only bring tragedy to the world.
