"China's Diplomatic Move: Sending Delegation to North Korea Amidst Tensions over Russian Weapon Deal"

China is sending a delegation to North Korea to celebrate the country's 75th anniversary, amid tensions over a possible weapons deal between North Korea and Russia. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is reportedly planning to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. Putin wants North Korea to supply artillery shells and antitank missiles, while Kim seeks advanced technology and food aid. The US has threatened retaliation if the deal goes through, urging North Korea to abide by its commitments not to provide weapons to Russia.
