## Resource

Xi Jinping heads to North Korea next week, his first trip in nearly seven years, as China seeks to reassert influence amid North Korea’s growing alignment with Russia and its push to expand nuclear capabilities. Kim Jong Un, relying on China for trade and aid, is signaling his intent to secure international nuclear recognition to ease sanctions — a goal that gained urgency after stalled U.S. talks. The visit underscores a broader geopolitical shift toward multipolarity, with China and Russia coordinating to challenge U.S.-led sanctions and support North Korea’s strategic ambitions.
