North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is attending a military parade in central Beijing, along with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, completely.

It is also a major diplomatic victory for XI.

The Chinese leader is trying hard to offer Beijing’s strength on the international stage – not only as the second largest economy in the world, but also as a heavy diplomatic weight.

He emphasized the role of China as a stable commercial partner, while Trump’s tariffs raised economic relations.

Now, while a deal with Putin to end the war in Ukraine continues to overcome the American president, Shi is preparing to host him in Beijing.

Kim attended, a sudden advertisement, no less important. Trump said earlier this week, at a meeting with the South Korean President, that He wanted to meet Kim Jong Un again.

His recent shot on diplomacy with the isolated dictator ended – despite two summits that captured the world. Trump suggests he wants to try again.

Meanwhile, the Chinese leader indicates that he may carry geopolitical cards in this game, and that his influence – despite limited – on both Kim and Putin may prove decisive in any deal.

On September 3, the show will witness a presentation of the Chinese military force to celebrate 80 years since Japan surrendered in World War II, which put an end to the profession of parts of China.

But now XI has also turned it into a more width – the timing is the key. The White House suggested that President Trump be in the area at the end of October and is open to meet the eleventh.

There is a lot on the table to discuss them, from the long -awaited tariff deal and selling Tiktok in the United States, to Beijing’s ability to persuade Putin to agree to a ceasefire or more in Ukraine.

Now, after Kim and Putin met, the Chinese leader will be able to sit with Trump without feeling that he was excluded from the episode – and given his close relationship with both leaders, he may have information he had not ended in the United States.

Russia and North Korea are the offspring in the eyes of the Western world. Kim is much longer than Putin because of his arms program, but his support Moscow invaded Ukraine I renewed the condemnation.

thus Invitation to Beijing It is a big step for him – the last time a North Korean leader attended a military parade in China in 1959.

There has been little public contact between Shi and Kim since 2019, when they met to celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the Korean relations of the Chinese north. Beijing was also the first stop of Kim Jong Un in 2018 before filling the summits with President Trump’s nuclear program for Pyongyang.

Recently, Shi appears on the sidelines of the deep Moscow Pyongyang alliance, One may not want Beijing any part of.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is close to Kim Jong Un and Flasmir Putin closer

China tried to survive publicly in the war in Ukraine, while urging a peaceful solution. But the United States and its allies accused Beijing of supporting Moscow’s efforts by providing the components that Russia could use in its war efforts.

Some analysts asked whether China’s relationship with North Korea was strained as Kim approached Putin. But Kim’s visit to Beijing next week suggests otherwise.

It is not a relationship that the North Korean leader can easily abandon – its economy depends greatly on China, which provides approximately 90 % of food imports. Being at that stage with not only Putin and Shi, but other leaders, from Indonesia, Iran, etc., also provides Kim’s legitimacy.

For eleventh, this is a diplomatic financial lever with Washington before a possible summit with Trump.

The two countries continued talks to try to conclude a deal and avoid destroyed definitions and a commercial war. There is another temporary stop for 90 days, but the watch is heading, so you will want XI the most powerful hand as the negotiations continue.

He has a lot to advance: China has helped Trump in the past when he tried to meet Kim Jong Un. Can the eleventh do that again?

More importantly, it is the role that China can play in ending the war in Ukraine.

The most surprising question is: Can there be a meeting between Shi, Putin, Kim and Donald Trump?
