Xi emphasized the shared sacrifices and deep historical ties between China and North Korea during his visit to a historic mountainside in Pyongyang. Honor guard members placed a floral basket at a monument, accompanied by a ribbon inscribed "The martyrs of the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army are immortal."
I am deeply pleased and also feel a special sense of closeness.
China and the DPRK are friendly socialist neighbors who stand by each other and share a common future. No matter how times change or how the international landscape evolves, the traditional friendship between China and the DPRK remains unbreakable and enduring, constantly demonstrating vigorous vitality.
The unwavering support for the socialist cause of the DPRK led by Comrade General Secretary Kim Jong-un will not change; and the firm determination to safeguard the common interests and favourable strategic environment of both China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea will not change.
The Xi-Kim summit is a reminder that Beijing still sees Pyongyang as a strategic asset.
Xi's visit is a strategic embrace of Kim but not a blank check for North Korea.
Beijing expects Pyongyang to respect its interests and to avoid destabilizing policies.
At present, Kim sees more risk in diplomacy with Trump than in following a Cold War 2.0 playbook, and Xi sees more risk in pressuring North Korea than from enabling it.
This could mean a China–North Korea security alignment aimed at countering South Korea, US and Japan, while tacitly accepting North Korea's status as a nuclear-armed state.
Beijing is increasingly defining North Korea as a long-term strategic partner in an emerging Eurasian geopolitical contest versus the U.S. and its allies.
His visit is about keeping the tradition alive in very different conditions than his last trip.
The sustainability of improved North Korea-Russia and increasing North Korea-China relations may influence just how long Kim can continue to ignore Washington and Seoul.
