Perspectives on 9.9 Military Parade in Pyongyang and Xi visit.


Channel A Top Ten News graphic Youtube Aug 23. "Big Brother" invited to the 9.9 commemoration, which weapons will North Korea publicly display?

South Korea's Channel A news has reported that it is almost assured that Xi Jin Ping will make a state visit to Pyongyang for the September 9, military review and celebrations to commemorate the founding of the North Korean state on its 70th Anniversary. The South Korean analysts discussed whether North Korean ICBMs, such as the Hwasong 15, were likely to be displayed under the circumstances and felt it was an unlikely to happen as an unnecessary provocation to the US. Shortly thereafter, the Chinese and Russians will be engaged in "unprecedented" joint military exercises.




"Wow suddenly he's becoming close to us"... North Koreans have a feeling against Xi Jin Ping?

Participating in sanctions against us?

Swallow something when it's sweet, spit it out when it's bitter, two faced demeanor...his intentions are showing.

China is not at all on North Korea's side.
Two faced character.

Channel A Top Ten News reported that this commentary was given by anonymous sources in Pyongyang in anticipation of Xi's 9.9 summit visit to Pyongyang. The anecdotal information suggests Xi is still supporting the sanctions, despite US claims that he's effectively undermining the negotiations with the US.

Additional sanctions against the Chinese and Russia have been implemented by the US Treasury department three times this month for violations of UN sanctions against North Korea.

Meanwhile the US perspective is depicted this way by Channel A Top Ten News:


"Sticking together North Korea, China, and Russia, an obstacle to denuclearization." The graphic refers to Xi's upcoming first visit to North Korea, and the planned Russian Chinese joint military exercises and President Trump's frustration related to unsatisfied US denuclearization demands.
