North Korea, Russia and China are watching the crisis in South Korea - CNN.


Political turmoil in South Korea has shaken stability in a key democratic ally of the United States
The President of South Korea, Yoon Suk-yeol, declared a state of emergency for a few hours but rescinded it after protests and calls for his resignation. According to him, this was necessary to 'save the country from anti-state forces' trying to destroy democracy. However, this move raises concerns in Seoul and Washington.
According to CNN expert Simone McCarthy, this unexpected situation is alarming for the United States, as they have a significant military presence and a large base in South Korea, which serves as a deterrent to North Korea and China. Additionally, it could lead to political chaos that North Korea could exploit.
The North-South Korean alliance is important for Russia and North Korea and is a key element of peace in the region. However, instability in South Korea could weaken partnerships with Japan and have serious consequences for U.S. policy in the Indo-Pacific region.
Thus, political events in South Korea raise concerns among American military and political experts, as well as a potential risk to stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
