With a 65-year mutual defense pact on the line, Beijing aims to reaffirm its influence while sending a message to Moscow. The visit follows Xi’s recent summits with the U.S. and Russia, and comes as North Korea resumes diplomatic activity — including Kim’s recent factory tour and missile inspections — hinting at strategic alignment. South Korea sees the meeting as a bilateral affair, not tied to broader geopolitical chess, and hopes Beijing continues its constructive role on the Korean Peninsula.
