China's Xi Jinping Arrives in North Korea for Summit with Kim Jong Un

Updated on

President Xi Jinping visited Pyongyang on Monday for a rare state trip, during which he told North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that the two countries would work together to elevate their bilateral relations. Chinese state media reported that Xi expressed willingness to take relations to "new heights." Analysts suggest the visit serves to reaffirm China’s influence over North Korea in exchange for economic and political gains.

    1. The two sides should enhance the alignment of development strategies, tap the potential for cooperation in various fields, share opportunities and promote development together, so as to better benefit the two peoples.
    2. The two sides should take the 65th anniversary of the China-DPRK Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance as an opportunity, strengthen exchanges at all levels and across party, government and military institutions, implement the important consensus reached by the two sides, and add fresh impetus to the development of bilateral relations.
    3. A high level of strategic cooperation reflects the significance of Beijing-Pyongyang relations in the current era. We are steadfast in our support of defending state sovereignty, safety, and development interests. Regional peace and welfare, international fairness and justice, and the postwar international order must be jointly safeguarded.
    4. The two sides should oppose hegemonism and power politics and reject any scheme or action aimed at reviving militarism and undermining regional security and stability. The two countries should jointly promote an equal and orderly multipolarization of the world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization.
    5. The two sides should strengthen strategic communication and coordination, and jointly uphold the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law.
    6. Promoting long-term peace and stability in the region, as well as world peace and stability, is a common pursuit of the two parties, the two countries and their peoples.
    7. High-level strategic coordination gives China-DPRK relations their contemporary significance.
    8. No matter how the times change or how the international situation evolves, the traditional friendship between China and North Korea is always invincible.

    1. Russia and North Korea have developed increasingly close ties and the divide between North and South Korea continues to widen.
  3. KP
    Kim Yo Jong
    1. The DPRK's status as a nuclear weapons state is the line of no retreat, and it is a stark reality whether anyone recognises it or not.

    1. Chinese officials have taken the position of not speaking publicly about denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula while still maintaining it as a long-term goal. Kim appears to want Xi to accept North Korea as a nuclear neighbor.
    2. Implementing U.N. Security Council resolutions and enforcing sanctions do not appear to be priorities for China.
    3. A Chinese leader doesn't just visit North Korea because a visit is due. Xi's trip will have real implications for China-DPRK relations.

    1. North Korea can't solely rely on Russia. It needs to align with China.

    1. Moscow-Pyongyang power relations are more equal than Beijing-Pyongyang; Moscow needs Kim for their war in Ukraine as much as Kim needs technology sharing and food from Russia.
    2. Beijing probably has accepted North Korea as a nuclear state.
  7. US

    Asia Society Policy Institute
    1. They don't want to let North Korea's closeness with Russia outpace the ties with China too much.
    2. Within North Korean propaganda, there are really over the top paeans to the closeness with Russia forged in fighting a war together. Whereas with China it's kind of nostalgic.
  8. TW
    William Yang
    Crisis Group
    1. In light of North Korea's recent waves of missile tests, including the announcement of successfully testing AI-guided missiles, Xi likely sees the need to show up in Pyongyang in person to prevent tension on the Korean Peninsula from escalating.
