Xi Jinping’s surprise trip to Pyongyang marks his first visit to North Korea in seven years, signaling a major diplomatic reset as China seeks to reassert influence over a volatile ally increasingly leaning toward Russia. With denuclearization, U.S. relations, and regional stability on the agenda, the visit comes after high-profile meetings with Putin and Trump—and follows Wang Yi’s earlier diplomatic push. Kim Jong Un, keen to strengthen ties with Beijing, welcomed Xi’s gesture, which included a public endorsement of “unbreakable” friendship in North Korean media. As Russia’s focus shifts due to Ukraine, China’s strategic outreach—resuming flights and trains post-pandemic—underscores its vital role in Pyongyang’s survival. Their last summit in 2023, attended by Putin, set a tone of mutual support, and Xi’s article frames this alliance as enduring despite global turbulence.
