In today's global political landscape, alliances and military cooperation between states play an important role. In this multipolar and interdependent world, there are countries with many allies ready to lend a hand; Some countries, on the other hand, are neutral to avoid being drawn into external conflicts. This article will focus on three countries that play important roles in geopolitics: North Korea, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
North Korea, located in the East Asian region of the "monster house", is adjacent to four neighboring countries, China, Russia, Japan and South Korea, and faces strong geopolitical pressure. Although North Korea does not have an advantage over its neighbors in many areas of combined strength, it has always been protected by the mainland. The history dates back to the Ming Dynasty, when Korea faced a Japanese invasion and the mainland did not hesitate to send troops to help it defend against the invasion and maintain regional stability. The ongoing conflict on the Korean Peninsula, especially tensions with South Korea, which relies on U.S. support, has exacerbated the security situation in North Korea. At the same time, historical entanglements with Japan, as well as Japan's relationship with the United States, have added to North Korea's uncertainty. In order to maintain the security of the mainland's northeast and north China, the mainland has always adhered to its protection commitments to North Korea and has become its most reliable ally.
Pakistan, located in South Asia, was once part of India, but after the two countries parted ways, Pakistan was subjected to internal and external pressure for a long time. Relations with India, in particular, have been at a high level of tension because of territorial disputes and religious factors. However, India's hostility to Pakistan has instead served as a catalyst for relations between the mainland and Pakistan. The mainland's assistance to Pakistan played a crucial role in the second Indo-Pakistani war. Pakistan faced an outnumbered and equipped Indian army and was in extreme difficulty, while mainland aid turned the tide of the war and defended Pakistan's independence. Since then, relations between the mainland and Pakistan have warmed up and become close partners. Although not an informal military ally, the mainland remains committed to providing support to Pakistan in all its aspects to maintain its security and stability.
Bangladesh, located in South Asia, was once part of Pakistan, but was inspired by India to become an independent state from Pakistan. Relations between Bangladesh and India have been overshadowed by historical disputes, and different national positions have led to tensions between the two countries. However, India's geopolitical ambitions with regard to the mainland and disputes over southern Tibet have led Bangladesh to seek the mainland's support. Cooperation between the mainland and Bangladesh is not only an enhancement of bilateral relations, but also a wise choice in the regional political situation. Although Bangladesh, like Pakistan, is not an official military ally of the mainland, the mainland will support its military and economic construction in various ways to maintain its own stability and development.
All in all, state-to-state relations in the geopolitical landscape are complex, and each country is trying to find the best strategic partner. North Korea, Pakistan and Bangladesh, in their respective histories and backgrounds, have all chosen to establish close cooperation with the mainland. Although they are not formal military allies of the mainland, they provide them with as much support as allies. This cooperation not only helps to safeguard the security of all countries, but also plays a positive role in the mainland's influence in the geopolitical arena. In the ever-changing international situation, such cooperation will continue to evolve and make more contributions to regional peace and stability.
