A week after meeting Trump, Kim arrives on 2-day China visit to meet Xi

Kim Jong-un-Xi Jinping

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Tuesday arrived on a two-day China visit and met President Xi Jinping, just a week after his historic meet with US President Donald Trump in Singapore on the Korean nuclear crisis. The Chinese state broadcaster showed Xi and Kim holding talks at the Great Hall of the People. Kim is understood to have briefed the Chinese President on his meeting in Singapore last week. The development comes amid an ugly trade spat between the US and China, with experts viewing the visit as Beijing's show of leverage it holds over Pyongyang. This is Kim's third visit to China since March this year and the previous two were not made public until the leader left the country.
