Russia's North Korea defense deal may create friction with China, US top general says
==========
Russia's President Vladimir Putin's mutual defense agreement with North Korea has the potential to create friction with China, according to Air Force General Charles Q. Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The pact, signed on June 19, could undercut Beijing's leverage over North Korea and negatively impact China's global economic and strategic ambitions. U.S. officials believe North Korea is keen to acquire advanced military technologies from Russia. The treaty commits both sides to provide immediate military assistance in the event of armed aggression. However, Brown noted limitations to the accord and doubts that Russia would give North Korea everything it wants.
