America's Authoritarian Adversaries Forming Strategic Alliances
China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea are increasingly collaborating to counter Western influence, forming a flexible network known as CRINK. This cooperation is evident in military and technological exchanges, with each country leveraging its strengths to support others. The alliance is not formalized but operates on shared interests, particularly in opposing US-led global order. The situation in Ukraine highlights the strategic connections between European and Indo-Pacific theaters, with implications for Taiwan and global security.
