China and North Korea have effectively reaffirmed their commitment to jointly oppose the aggressive policies of the US and its allies like Japan and South Korea
The presence of high ranking Chinese military officials in Xi’s entourage shows that military issues clearly were on the visit’s agenda
The fact that the issue of the Korean peninsula’s denuclearization was not mentioned by the Chinese side suggests that China tacitly accepted North Korea as a nuclear power
It is likely that China and North Korea may pursue joint economic and logistical ventures, but concrete details that might back up such assumptions are yet to come
Meanwhile, South Korea emerges as the biggest loser in this situation, as it ended up alienating itself from the multilateral processes in the region by too closely allying itself with the US
