A growing strategic convergence among China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea has analysts warning of a rising “axis of upheaval” challenging the U.S.-led world order. Driven less by shared ideology and more by mutual opposition to Western hegemony, these regimes increasingly collaborate through arms transfers, sanctions resistance, and diplomatic solidarity. Still, internal contradictions—such as Moscow’s uneasy dependence on Beijing—could undermine longer-term cohesion. Experts argue that nuanced U.S. strategy which seeks to exploit these fissures may be more effective than a monolithic containment approach. This informal alliance, though fragile, signals an evolving multipolar reality.
