Xi heads to North Korea to meet Kim ahead of Trump talks

A commemorative stamp featuring North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un meeting with China’s leader Xi Jinping is pictured at a shop in Pyongyang.

Xi and Kim have been working to repair ties, with the young North Korean leader visiting his older comrade four times in China in the past year and Beijing calling for sanctions to be relaxed. Chinese flags were raised in key locations and along roads throughout Pyongyang, alternating with North Korean emblems.“For North Korea, the coming meeting will serve to show the US that China has its back and to send a message to Washington it should stop its maximum pressure posture,” said Lim Eul-chul, professor of North Korean studies at Kyungnam University.

Beijing had fretted over being sidelined after the North Korean leader agreed to meet Trump last year, with the US leader going as far as declaring he had fallen “in love” with Kim.China sees the North as a strategic buffer from South Korea, keeping the 28,500 US troops in South Korea far from its borders.
