Well, China doesn't have too many allies, does it? Actually, most of the Chinese allies are the so-called ROC countries that are in difficulty or in trouble in different ways.
The only allies I've mentioned that are able to pose some kind of threat are North Korea and Russia, and they are getting closer to each other recently. This is really something that we should watch more. The North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, was in Russia only a week ago, and now they are already talking about Mr. Putin going to visit China next month.
The report is that Mr. Kim is also visiting China in October. The purpose is to participate in the so-called belt and road initiative summit. This is the third time for this summit to take place in China. Most likely, the three heads of the countries in the summit would have a summit meeting. The meeting of these three countries—North Korea, Russia and China—would be very worrisome.
