leadnews.SEOUL, June 8, 2026 (AFP) – China’s President Xi Jinping hailed an “invincible friendship” with Pyongyang as he arrived in North Korea Monday, his first trip abroad this year after hosting back-to-back summits in Beijing.<\/em><\/p>\n

China, Washington’s chief geopolitical rival, has been North Korea’s main trading partner by far for decades and a key source of diplomatic and economic support for the country hit by multiple international sanctions.<\/em><\/p>\n

Military officers lined a red carpet as an Air China plane carrying Xi arrived for his first visit since 2019, video from Xinhua showed.<\/em><\/p>\n

A banner that read “We warmly welcome Comrade Xi Jinping” and hailing the two countries’ “unbreakable friendship” hung below Chinese and North Korean flags at the airport.<\/em><\/p>\n

Xi made the trip after hosting US President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin separately in Beijing, and as North Korea’s nuclear talks with Washington remain deadlocked.<\/em><\/p>\n

The White House said last month that Xi and Trump “confirmed their shared goal to denuclearise North Korea” during their summit in Beijing.<\/em><\/p>\n

However, leader Kim Jong Un’s powerful sister said on the eve of Xi’s arrival that North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme was “the line of no retreat”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Minseon Ku, a diplomacy professor at DePaul University, told AFP that “Beijing probably has accepted North Korea as a nuclear state” but Xi “will probably tell Kim that China wants stability more than anything”.<\/em><\/p>\n

China has “always prioritised stability and is currently having to manage its relations and differences with the US”, Ku said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Seong-Hyon Lee, a visiting scholar at the Harvard University Asia Center, also said Beijing is shifting towards “underwriting regime durability” rather than seeking to coerce North Korea into denuclearisation.<\/em><\/p>\n

“China’s broader regional strategy benefits from a stable, heavily armed, and aligned buffer state that absorbs US and allied military bandwidth,” he told AFP.<\/em><\/p>\n

– Elevated status –<\/em><\/p>\n

North Korea has repeatedly declared itself an “irreversible” nuclear state since Kim and Trump’s 2019 summit collapsed over the scope of denuclearisation and sanctions relief.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kim has also been emboldened by the war in Ukraine, securing critical support from Moscow after sending troops to fight alongside Russian forces.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some analysts say the summit could be Xi’s way of countering Russia’s growing influence over North Korea, but DePaul’s Ku stressed that “overall, Moscow is not a major power like China”.<\/em><\/p>\n

“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,” she said.<\/em><\/p>\n

In an article published on the front page of North Korea’s Rodong Sinmun, Xi pledged closer cooperation.<\/em><\/p>\n

“No matter how the times change or how the international situation evolves, the traditional friendship between China and North Korea is always invincible,” Xi wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n

Xi last met Kim in September, when he invited the North Korean leader and Putin to a military parade in Beijing marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.<\/em><\/p>\n

– Taiwan counterweight –<\/em><\/p>\n

Trump has made little progress on North Korea, especially on the nuclear front, despite his earlier high-profile summits with Kim.<\/em><\/p>\n

North Korea is also the only country with an official, binding military alliance with China.<\/em><\/p>\n

“America is currently engaged in offensive warfare potentially harmful to China’s key interests, such as energy supplies,” Vladimir Tikhonov, Korean Studies professor at the University of Oslo, told AFP.<\/em><\/p>\n

“It appears Xi is trying to consolidate the alliance” with North Korea partly for that reason, he said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Beijing claims self-ruled Taiwan as part of its territory, and North Korea could also serve as a useful counterweight to US partners in the region, including South Korea and Japan, analysts said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Long-frosty China-Japan ties have deteriorated since Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, a security hawk, suggested last year that Tokyo might intervene militarily in any Chinese attempt to take Taiwan.<\/em><\/p>\n

“As China’s international standing rises, Beijing is likely seeking to draw Pyongyang more actively into its diplomatic orbit,” said Lim Eul-chul, a North Korea expert at Kyungnam University.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
