Recent military exercises conducted by North Korea, notably the intercontinental ballistic missile launch, have raised concerns within the international community regarding China’s potential acknowledgment of North Korea’s nuclear capabilities. Li Qiang, the first Chinese premier to visit Pyongyang, underscored a potential tacit acceptance of Pyongyang’s role as a nuclear power. The parade showcased advanced weaponry, including tanks and artillery, further intensifying diplomatic scrutiny. Analysts suggest this development could influence China’s strategic approach to managing the North Korean situation, while maintaining stability in the region.
