The administration of US leader Joe Biden is sounding the alarm amid increased cooperation between Russia, China, and North Korea. According to the White House, these dictatorships are encroaching on the current world order.
What do Russia, China and the DPRK plan
The first to make a statement on the matter was John Kirby, the White House National Security Council's strategic communications coordinator.
We see a growing desire of Russia and China, and to some extent North Korea, to strengthen and improve their ties with each other, he stressed.
According to Joe Biden's team, these three dictatorships are now encroaching on the world order that the United States and other members of the international community managed to stabilise and implement after the end of the Cold War.
We continue to believe that a rules-based order is important, and that there are certain countries that would like to act contrary to that order, the White House spokesman said.
According to John Kirby, Joe Biden's administration is doing everything possible to strengthen US alliances and partnerships in the Indo-Pacific region to a level "unprecedented in recent years".
In addition, official Washington is working to improve and deepen security cooperation with South Korea and Japan.
What is known about US-China relations
According to US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns, he is pessimistic about the prospects for further official relations between Washington and Beijing.
However, the diplomat still hopes that they will not cause a new large-scale conflict.
Despite the recent talks between the US and Chinese presidents, there have been no significant changes in the countries' policies.
China continues to cooperate with Moscow, ignoring the demands of the White House.
