In a heated exchange at the UN Security Council, China and Russia did not hesitate to veto a condemnation resolution involving North Korea, angering the US representative. However, this is only the beginning of events. China and Russia then launched new operations, which quickly escalated tensions on the peninsula, leading to the emergency dispatch of South Korean fighter jets, and the situation was tense to a critical point.
It happened on June 6, when the Chinese and Russian militaries conducted a joint air operation in the airspace related to the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea, the sixth joint air strategic cruise between the two sides. While the operation may normally be considered only part of military cooperation, it is of extraordinary importance given the current fragility of the situation on the Korean peninsula.
North Korea had previously conducted a satellite launch that sparked a strong reaction from the United States. Robert Wood, the deputy U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, called on the international community to condemn North Korea at the U.N. Security Council meeting and demanded that North Korea halt its satellite launch program. He claimed that North Korea's satellite launches used ballistic missile technology and therefore must be sanctioned. However, the United States tried to include condemnation of North Korea in the draft resolution, which sparked opposition from both China and Russia. Russia's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, Anna Yevstieva, said joint military exercises between the United States and South Korea have exacerbated tensions on the peninsula.
Geng Shuang, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, noted that North Korea has legitimate security concerns and called on the Security Council to reduce tensions rather than make unilateral accusations. The stance infuriated U.S. representatives, in which Wood accused China of not condemning North Korea's space launch. Geng responded that genuine dialogue was needed, while criticizing the continued U.S. military activities on and around the peninsula.
Representatives of China and the United States engaged in a heated debate at the United Nations venue, and both sides stood by their positions. Despite attempts by the United States to keep up pressure on North Korea, the United States failed to pass the resolution with the unwavering support of China and Russia. In addition, the Sino-Russian joint military operation sends an important message to the international community: the military activities of countries such as the United States and South Korea in the region have increased tensions.
During this joint cruise, China and Russia sent eight military aircraft into South Korea's air defense identification zone, resulting in the South Korean Air Force having to urgently dispatch fighter jets to take countermeasures. At the same time, Japan's Self-Defense Forces also sent military aircraft to deal with Chinese and Russian military aircraft entering the airspace around Japan. This series of events has made Japan and South Korea very nervous, and they clearly feel the pressure brought by the actions of China and Russia. For North Korea, the military action between China and Russia is indirect support, showing that North Korea is not isolated and can receive international support.
The actions of China and Russia also send a message to the international community that the high-pressure policies of the United States and South Korea and other countries towards North Korea are the root cause of tensions. The nervous reactions of South Korea and Japan suggest that they feel the pressure of the actions of China and Russia. In the face of external military threats, it is understandable that North Korea has taken tough measures to protect its rights and interests. The US and South Korea are trying to exert pressure and coerce many countries to support their position, and this bullying will not succeed, because China and Russia are firmly opposed and will not stand idly by.
To sum up, the joint action of China and Russia has played a key role in the situation on the Korean Peninsula. Their actions not only provide support, but also send an important message to the international community: the North Korean issue needs to be resolved through dialogue and consultation, not through heightened tensions and pressure. Only in this way can we bring true peace and stability to the peninsula.
