While "CRINK" is a useful analytical framework for understanding the relationships among China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, is Beijing primarily motivated by concerns about being sidelined by deepening Russia–North Korea ties? If Xi Jinping were to visit Pyongyang, what would likely be at the top of his agenda?
Moderated by Dr. Victor Cha, this episode features Dr. Edward Howell, Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Oxford, and Mr. Sydney Seiler, Non-resident Senior Adviser with the Korea Chair at CSIS.
In this episode, they discuss North Korea's relationships with the CRINK countries and examine the implications of this emerging alignment for regional and global security.
A recording of the event will be available on-demand following the livestream. An audio-only version of the show will be available in the Impossible State podcast feed on all platforms.
This event is made possible by the generous support of CSIS.
