習近平「考慮訪韓」引爆金正恩焦慮 北韓想解與俄相依為命的困局
看點2：中日韓三國資深官員齊聚首爾展開磋商，就年底舉行三方領袖峰會達成共識；其中北京有意拉攏南韓的舉動，觸動了北韓敏感神經，突然釋放美國叛逃二等兵的背後潛藏了什麼政治盤算？
(photo) 習近平之所以主動提及「考慮訪韓」，不外乎與北韓領導人金正恩在海參崴會晤俄羅斯總統普亭有關。從中國大陸的角度來看，加入俄朝聯盟將加劇東北亞對抗情勢，這不是北京所樂見的。
English Translation
Xi Jinping "considers visiting South Korea" triggers Kim Jong-un's anxiety, North Korea wants to solve the dilemma of dependence on Russia
Highlight 2: Senior officials from China, Japan and South Korea gathered in Seoul for consultations and reached a consensus on holding a tripartite leaders' summit at the end of the year; Beijing's deliberate move to win over South Korea touched North Korea's sensitive nerves. What politics are hidden behind the sudden release of the defected American private? Planning?
(photo) The reason why Xi Jinping proactively mentioned "considering visiting South Korea" is nothing more than North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Vladivostok. From the perspective of mainland China, joining the Russia-North Korea alliance will intensify the confrontation in Northeast Asia, which is not what Beijing likes to see.
