Ask what Korea is talking about.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made a surprise visit to China on Saturday, October 24, crossing a newly opened bridge linking the two countries and arriving in the Chinese border city of Dandong, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. He met with Beijing's top political adviser and said he hoped to expand cooperation with China, according to the Korea Times. The trip, days before the anniversary of Chinese troops entering the 1950-53 Korean War, was aimed at reaffirming historic 'blood ties' between the two nations, the Korea Times reports in a cover story. An editorial in the Korea Times argues Kim's visit 'must lead to restraint,' noting the peninsula's future cannot be understood through inter-Korean relations alone.
