Analysis: Chinese President Xi’s silence on nuclear arms is a gift to North Korea’s Kim Jong Un

Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent visit to North Korea omitted any public mention of its nuclear weapons program, contrasting with past Chinese advocacy for denuclearization. This silence aligns with a shift in Beijing's priorities toward regional stability over disarmament, potentially strengthening North Korea's position as a nuclear state and complicating efforts by the U.S. and South Korea.
