Korean-language dailies in South Korea reported that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un embarked on a one-day trip to China on October 26, 2022. The visit, described as reaffirming close ties with China, was seen by some as a preparation for potential North-South Korean talks. The trip was also noted to be part of a broader effort to deepen economic cooperation between the two nations.

English-language dailies covering the story in the United States provided additional context. The Korea Herald reported that Kim's visit to Dandong, a city on the North Korean-Chinese border, was seen as invoking wartime past while looking towards a more economic future. Other outlets, such as the Korea Times and Korea JoongAng Daily, highlighted the significance of Kim's China trip in potentially sending a message to U.S. President Donald Trump.
