North Korea's Kim Jong Un is set to attend China's military parade, according to top Japanese news sources. This move seemingly solidifies once again the ties between North Korea and China amid ongoing geopolitical frictions. The parade's date and location have not been disclosed yet. This attendance by Kim presents a new angle to the political dynamics in the East Asian region and will be a subject of global interest.

In Japan, news about other East Asian countries' military activities is closely monitored due to historical, geopolitical, and regional security reasons. Japan's pacifist constitution and its complicated relationship with neighboring countries like China and North Korea make any show of military strength by these countries a matter of national interest.

In contrast, in the US or EU, while events involving potential allies or adversaries are of interest, they tend to be viewed through a more global geopolitical lens, rather than immediate regional concerns. For instance, such a military parade might signal shifts in treaty agreements or global posturing but does not typically incite immediate apprehension.
