ANALYSIS
South China Morning Post publishes a detailed analysis of how the Moscow-Pyongyang axis is strengthening as a 'powerful anti-Western bulwark' as the Ukraine war drags on, with both parties agreeing to long-term military cooperation beyond their Ukraine engagement. SCMP also highlights that Asia-Pacific military spending is growing at its fastest pace since 2009 — partly fueled by the Trump effect pushing US allies to rearm. Beijing observes this dynamic with interest: every NATO crisis reduces potential pressure on its own South China Sea policies.
