TL;DR

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrives in Pyongyang for his first North Korea visit in seven years to meet Kim Jong Un as North Korea touts an exponential expansion of its nuclear arsenal; analysts say Beijing aims to steer Pyongyang toward regional engagement and denuclearisation talks while keeping Pyongyang from drifting closer to Russia, with possible discussions on economic engagement and broader regional issues such as Taiwan and Japan.
