North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has paid tribute to the millions of Chinese troops who fought a US-led coalition to a standstill and saved his country from defeat in the Korean War, state media reported Thursday. KimJongUn

The 1950-53 conflict was the first and so far only time Chinese and US forces have engaged in large-scale direct combat, and with tensions running high between Beijing and Washington,China is North Korea’s longtime ally and economic benefactor, with Mao Zedong — whose eldest son Mao Anying was among those killed — having described relations as “close as lips and teeth”.

The US-led United Nations coalition had pushed North Korean forces under Kim’s grandfather Kim Il Sung almost all the way back to the Chinese border before Mao — whose Communist army had won the Chinese civil war only a year earlier — intervened in October 1950. Floral tributes in the North Korean leader’s name were laid before the main monument and Mao Anying’s grave, where Kim also paid his respects.
