Pyongyang, 2025 – Kim Jong-un and Xi Jinping have pledged to deepen their alliance, a move that has the UK Foreign Office tracking what they describe as a 'new axis of power' emerging in East Asia.

Uncovered documents from the Foreign Office suggest London views this as a strategic shift that could destabilise regional balances.
'They are not just trading commodities. This is about leveraging nuclear capabilities and supply chains,' one official told me. The British government is now scrambling to reassess its posture.
Corporate interests in the City are quietly watching: any sanctions or trade disruptions could hit investments in the region. The unanswered question remains: how deep does this alignment go? As always, follow the money.
The bodies usually follow.
