Has Beijing given up on a nuclear weapon-free Korean peninsula?

Following Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent two-day state visit to Pyongyang, neither China nor North Korea mentioned nuclear weapons or denuclearization in their official statements. Analysts suggest this omission does not indicate Beijing's acceptance of North Korea's expanding nuclear arsenal, despite speculation that China's stance on the issue might be softening since Xi's May summit with US President Donald Trump. The article highlights that the absence of nuclear discussions in the post-visit statements does not necessarily mean China has abandoned its position on denuclearization.
