Ask what Korea is talking about.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has reaffirmed Beijing's commitment to strengthening ties with North Korea in a reply to a letter from leader Kim Jong-un, according to North Korean state media. Xi said the two countries have long supported each other across generations, as reported Thursday by Seoul-based outlets. The reaffirmation comes amid heightened inter-Korean tensions, with Kim Yo-jong warning of "new response measures" along the border and announcing the resumption of propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts toward the South later this month. Korean media coverage focuses on the diplomatic signal from Beijing, while the North's threats draw attention to the fragile state of inter-Korean relations.
