On New Year's Day , Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un jointly designated 2024 as the " China -DPRK Friendship Year" Despite this declaration, China - North Korea relations have significantly cooled this year .

Kim 's growing ties with Russia represent a deliberate effort to reduce North Korea's dependency on China .

China has responded to this pivot with subtle but telling signals of diplomatic cooling.

In recent years , China has dramatically increased its economic influence over both Russia and North Korea .

Seohyun Lee and Michael Donmoyer say the U.S. should work with China to strengthen and enforce sanctions on North Korea while making relief contingent on Kim 's adoption of Deng Xiaoping-style economic reforms.
