Insider Claims CCP Provides Funding for North Korean Military Aid in Russia
According to Yuan Hongbing, a Chinese dissident, ‘All of this military support came from the CCP, with North Korea merely acting as a white glove.’
SYDNEY—Insider information obtained by an Australia-based high-profile Chinese dissident reveals that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been funding North Korea’s military aid to Russia.
Yuan Hongbing, a former law professor at China’s prestigious Peking University, obtained this information from members of the “second-generation red”—children of senior CCP officials who founded the communist regime in China.
Yuan recently acquired a report in which the CCP’s top military advisors outlined plans for a potential second Trump administration.
Following this, both Ukraine and South Korea alleged that North Korea sent troops to Russia, with the United States confirming that over 10,000 soldiers had joined Russian forces in combat against Ukrainian troops.

The report recommended strategies to counter Trump’s policies, such as portraying his “America First” policy as selfish, sowing discord between the US and its allies, and strengthening diplomatic ties with other key regions.
