00:00So you say Pyongyang is a tricky ally. Do you think Pyongyang is to some extent an embarrassing ally?
00:05It is both tricky and in some ways slightly embarrassing.
00:09It is embarrassing because China actually does not want nuclear weapons on the Korean peninsula, and North Korea is a
00:19nuclear weapon state.
00:21China would like to see China and North Korea and Russia being closed, but then with China in the lead,
00:32rather than have North Korea developing a stronger relationship with Russia on its own.
00:39So yes, there are issues there.
