Kim opens China border bridge in surprise Dandong visit
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited China on Saturday, October 24, 2026, crossing a newly opened bridge linking the two countries into the border city of Dandong, according to Yonhap and Korea Times reports. He met with Beijing's top political adviser and said he hoped to expand cooperation with China, with the trip aimed at reaffirming 'blood ties' ahead of the Korean War anniversary, as Korea Times reports. Korean outlets frame the visit as a signal of deepening North Korea-China ties, with Korea Times editorials urging that Kim's visit 'must lead to restraint' on the peninsula, noting the future cannot be understood through inter-Korean relations alone.
