Even Nepal is 'anti-China'... Why is China in an emergency?

As the U.S. imposed a 50% tariff on Canadian products, Canada retaliated with tariffs, intensifying economic pressure between the two countries. Analysts suggest this situation could be the beginning of a weakening U.S. alliance system, as it changes how existing allies respond to U.S. economic pressure.

In response, Canada began applying a 50% retaliatory tariff on U.S. products starting September 8. Critics point out that this tariff war will inevitably pass on real economic pain to U.S. businesses and citizens.

Allied nations have come to realize that the U.S. can 'pull out' of an alliance at any time based on its own interests. Analysts suggest this could give allies the confidence to resist U.S. demands, like Canada, expanding their diplomatic options and prompting them to seek economic diversification.

Chairman Kim Jong-un appears to be employing a 'raise-the-stakes' strategy to secure favorable conditions, sensing the need for dialogue with the U.S.

North Korea is pursuing a strategy to gain recognition for its regime and economic breathing room by offering cards such as a nuclear freeze and ICBM halt.

This situation could effectively lead to recognizing North Korea's status as a nuclear-weapon state. Concerns are being raised that if South Korea is marginalized during the suspension of U.S.-South Korea exercises or U.S.-North Korea summits, it could pose a serious threat to South Korea's security.

Critics point out that the current U.S. stance on North Korea could send the wrong signal. In this situation, the South Korean government's diplomatic response is insufficient, and it is argued that the government must mobilize all diplomatic power, and even the networks its companies have with the U.S., to pressure and persuade the U.S. on all fronts.
