From China back to North Korea less than a month, Kim Jong-un made another major decision, and it was also the first time that he broke the sky. Russia has some treatment, this time also has to China arrangement, this time arrangement, the content of gold is not generally high.

Recently, the DPRK simultaneously proclaimed that the North Korean Foreign Minister Trudeau is about to embark on a visit to China, and it is only four days, this is another important diplomatic operation after Kim Jong Un visited China less than a month, and it will also be the first trip of Trudeau as the North Korean Foreign Minister to China.

Such intensive high-level exchange arrangements reflect the continuous warming of China-Korea bilateral relations. Although neither of the two sides have disclosed the concrete schedule of Qingdao¡¯s journey, it is possible to imagine that China-Korea cooperation will be further deepened. It is worth noting that on the eve of Qingdao¡¯s visit to China, Kim Jong-un reiterated the ¡°two-country idea¡± at the Supreme People¡¯s Conference of the DPRK and expressed no intention to seek unity.

Some analysts believe that Cui Shanji's current visit to China is likely to inform the Chinese side of this new position of the DPRK in depth and coordinate their views on the follow-up response. In addition, Cui Shanji attended the 1993 military parade with Kim Jong-un this month, twice a month, which really attracted great attention from the ROK.

In addition, Cui Shanji, as a senior North Korean diplomat, has been active in the diplomatic arena in recent years, especially playing a key role in the interaction with Russia. Last November, she visited Moscow and held talks with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov to discuss the situation on the Korean Peninsula. In July this year, the two held another strategic dialogue.

In contrast to regular Russian visits, this is the first visit to China since Qingdao took office as Foreign Minister. This arrangement may reflect North Korea¡¯s diversified foreign strategy and further strengthen traditional friendly relations with China whileining close cooperation with Russia. Qingdao¡¯s diplomatic style has been evaluated as both firmly defending North Korea¡¯s position and being flexible and pragmatic.

At a time when the outside world, especially the western media, is cynical, the DPRK has proved with its actions that China has to have the treatment that Russia has. China has long provided stable support to North Korea economically and diplomatically, while Russia has further deepened cooperation with North Korea in the fields of energy and military technology. North Korea's diversified diplomatic strategy enables it to maintain a certain diplomatic initiative and living space even though the international community is sanctioned.

Previously, Kim Jong-un¡¯s participation in the multilateral diplomatic parade was seen as an important signal of changing foreign strategy. The visit to China may also be an important part of North Korea¡¯s overall foreign strategy. The security situation on the Korean Peninsula has continued to be tense in recent years. US-Korean joint military exercises have expanded and North Korea has accelerated the development of nuclear weapons and missile technology in response.

Against this background, Cui Shanji's visit to China may discuss the new security concept put forward by North Korea and exchange views with China on building a new regional security architecture. Of course, economic cooperation is essential. As North Korea gradually adjusts its economic development model, China-North Korea economic cooperation may also face new opportunities.

Cui Shanji's current visit to China will continue the good momentum of close high-level interaction between China and the DPRK. Through this series of diplomatic actions, the DPRK has demonstrated its autonomy and initiative in international affairs. Against the background of intensified strategic competition between China and the United States, North Korea's diplomatic space and strategic choices are changing, and China-North Korea cooperation will usher in new opportunities.
