Ask what Korea is talking about.

North Korea marked the 76th anniversary of China's entry into the 1950-53 Korean War on Oct. 25, with senior party and government officials laying wreaths at the Friendship Tower in Pyongyang to honor fallen Chinese soldiers, according to state media reports on Oct. 26. The ceremony, attended by Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly Kim Hyong-sik, Vice Department Director of the Workers' Party Central Committee Mun Song-gol, and Vice Foreign Minister Kim Myong-sik, included the playing of both national anthems and was held days after leader Kim Jong-un's surprise trip to the Chinese border city of Dandong, which the Korea Times reports was aimed at reaffirming the historic "blood ties" between the two countries. Yonhap and the Korea Times both report the tribute, with the Korea Times noting it follows Kim's visit last week.
