Kim's Dandong Trip Reaffirms China Ties

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made a surprise one-day visit to the Chinese border city of Dandong on Saturday, crossing a newly opened bridge and meeting with Beijing's top political adviser, though not President Xi Jinping. State media reported he vowed to promote the two countries' 'blood-forged' friendship and expand cooperation, with the trip coming days before the anniversary of Chinese troops entering the 1950-53 Korean War. Yonhap reports Seoul expressed hope the visit would lead to restraint, while an editorial in the Korea Times argues the peninsula's future cannot be understood through inter-Korean relations alone.
