Has Beijing given up on a nuclear weapon-free Korean peninsula?
China has not explicitly addressed nuclear weapons during and after President Xi Jinping's recent visit to North Korea, but analysts suggest this does not indicate acceptance of Pyongyang's growing nuclear arsenal. Neither Beijing nor Pyongyang mentioned nuclear weapons or denuclearisation in official statements following the two-day state visit.
