Kim Jong-un makes a lightning visit to China to celebrate war cooperation

Kim Jong-un made a brief visit to China to celebrate the 76th anniversary of China's involvement in the Korean War. He was received by Wang Huning and laid a wreath at a memorial. This visit signals improved relations between North Korea and China, which had been strained for some time. Kim's travel method changed, using the newly opened Yalu River Bridge instead of his usual armored train. The visit coincides with North Korea's increasing cooperation with Russia, complicating potential meetings with U.S. President Trump, who has expressed interest in dialogue.
