Xi Jinping set for North Korea visit next week, first since 2019 amid geopolitical strains
Beijing's latest diplomatic outreach to Pyongyang comes as North Korea balances ties with both China and Russia while expanding its nuclear capabilities.
Beijing's latest diplomatic outreach to Pyongyang comes as North Korea balances ties with both China and Russia while expanding its nuclear capabilities.
Recent times have seen “strongmen” leaders like Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Mohammad Bin Salman, Paul Kagame, Kim Jong Un etc.
Over 70 per cent of North Korea’s lawmakers have been replaced after the latest vote, signalling a major internal reshuffle as the country prepares for key political decisions.
Trump has a rapport with North Korean dictator, or so he likes to think. US Prez wants to meet him to put China in its place and push Japan to fund Golden Dome interceptor system since war with Iran has degraded its own stockpile of missiles.
While the world worries about missiles and military strikes, the internet has found a strange way to cope. And somehow, Kim Jong Un has become the star of the meme show.
Photos released by the state media to mark the closing of the ruling Workers’ Party Congress showed Kim and his daughter Ju Ae standing side by side on stage, wearing a matching leather jacket.
In the first week of September 2025, China hosted two dozen world leaders for a huge Victory Day Military parade in Tiananmen Square to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and Japan’s surrender.
Kim reiterated that "there will never be any negotiations like trading something with enemies for sanctions relief."
A UN report reveals how North Korea turns art, music, and leisure into propaganda, leaving citizens without real entertainment or creative freedom.
The military parade in Beijing was meant to commemorate an old victory, but it became something far more consequential: a carefully staged display of political power, designed to re-order perceptions of who leads the world’s shifting alliances.
