Why do you think that North Korea has a closer relationship with China than it does with the United States? Give your response in the form of three or four complete sentences.
One reason is that China is geographically closer to North Korea than the United States is. Also, both China and North Korea are communist countries, and China fought with North Korea during the Korean War, while the United States fought against North Korea.
Unlike China, the United States has threatened North Korea multiple times. From promising to "nuke" them, to spreading things about the country that may or may not be true, the United States has not been friendly to North Korea. China and North Korea, however, trade often. Therefore, North Korea would be closer to China than the United States. I hope this helps!
