China respects DPRK decision to ease tensions on peninsula

An official from the Republic of Korea dropped a bombshell on Thursday by announcing that US President Donald Trump has agreed to meet Kim Jong-un, top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, by May, and that Pyongyang will refrain from conducting nuclear or missile tests.

"Kim Jong-un talked about denuclearization with the South Korean Representatives, not just a freeze," Trump tweeted following the ROK National Security Adviser Chung Eui-yong's announcement.

Since no sitting US president has ever met with a DPRK leader, a meeting between Trump and Kim will mark a breakthrough and should be welcomed by all countries, including China.
