The China+NK+Russia tripoint is interesting. Russia controls a narrow strip of coastline leading over to it, which prevents China from reaching the Sea of Japan. There have been historical negotiations between Russia and China about leasing rail lines or similar, to a port there, which would expand China's access. But, that same line would cut off Russia's direct connection to NK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93North_Korea%E2%80%93Russia_tripoint https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93North_Korea%E2%8...
