  "summary": "North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrived in the Chinese border city of Dandong on Saturday, according to state news agency Xinhua, as reported by Reuters Business via SCMP. This trip marks Kim’s first visit to China in more than a year and occurs ahead of next month's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen.\n\nFree Malaysia Today reports that Kim appeared to have crossed into the city via the New Yalu River Bridge, a major border bridge that officially opened last week. South Korean media and a government source in Seoul also indicated he arrived via the new bridge, a detail corroborated by The Mainichi, DW News, and Yonhap news agency.\n\nThe Korea JoongAng Daily newspaper, citing an unnamed South Korean government source, stated that Kim was greeted by Chinese Premier Li Qiang upon his arrival. Yonhap news agency reported that Kim is likely to return to North Korea the same day.",
