China said on Wednesday it won a pledge from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to denuclearize the Korean peninsula during a meeting with President Xi Jinping, who pledged in return that China would uphold its friendship with its isolated neighbor.

After two days of speculation, China announced on Wednesday that Kim had visited Beijing and met Xi during what the official Xinhua news agency called an unofficial visit from Sunday to Wednesday.

Kim added that IF the US and South Korea were willing to respond to North Korea’s efforts with sincerity the nuclear issue “can be solved”.

Looks like Kim is looking to save face.

Feux Follets says
“By denuclearisation, Kim actually means the whole Korean peninsula should be denuclearised and that the nuclear weapons deployed by the US in South Korea should be withdrawn,” Pang said. “Can the US really accept that request? The gesture means that the chance of a significant breakthrough between Kim and Trump may be slim"

No big deal. The submarines with the nukes can go out to sea.

China is desperate to prevent additional Tariffs and long-overdue Trade Restrictions, because they need exports to the US far more than the US needs them. There is no welfare or unemployment is China, the EU never makes easy deals with China like we do, they have no alternative but to keep employment high with mass exports to North America. Millions of unemployed, mostly unmarried, hungry and childless young men with nothing to lose are very dangerous to the Chinese Government.

In order to show the willingness to cooperate, and make themselves appear a major deal maker, China is basically telling Kim what to do, since Kim is dependent on exports TO China for hard currency and weaponry.

Additionally, China likes it if the Korean peninsula is Nuke Free. Since we have the nuclear triad, we can have SSBNs in the Sea of Japan or otherwise in Western Pacific at anytime.

This deal is happening, and it will be YUGE. No matter how much the failed Old Guard of Neolib-Neocons doesn't like it.

Here is the Korean View - very Optimisic

I'm not sure on what planet you live. He made some vague references to denuclearization.
If anything the meeting strengthen his hand. He's backed by China.
And Trump can't do anything and looks like a gesticulating idiot.

And the Chinese economy is totally dependent on us.

Days before summit, Trump raises prospect of easing North Korea sanctions

Speaking at the White House on Wednesday, Trump also said he expects to meet with Kim again after their Feb 27-28 summit in Hanoi, the Vietnamese capital.

A week before a second summit with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un, US President Donald Trump held out the prospect of an easing of tough sanctions on the country, but only if it does "something that's meaningful" on denuclearisation.

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Wednesday (Feb 20), Trump also said he expects to meet with Kim again after their Feb 27-28 summit in Hanoi, the Vietnamese capital.

Trump said he did not think North Korea was reluctant to denuclearise, in spite of a lack of concrete progress since he and Kim met for a first summit in Singapore in June.

"I don’t think they’re reluctant; I think they want to do something," he said. "We’ll see what happens. The sanctions are on in full. I haven’t taken sanctions off, as you know. I’d love to be able to, but in order to do that, we have to do something that’s meaningful on the other side."

Trump said he and Kim had "a good relationship" and added: "I wouldn’t be surprised to see something work out."

He said he and Kim have made a lot of progress but "that doesn’t mean this will be the last meeting."

Trump's comment was his most explicit yet that the United States might be willing to consider easing sanctions on North Korea before Pyongyang completely abandons its nuclear weapons programme.

The administration has previously said that sanctions will remain in place until North Korea's complete denuclearisation.

Trump spoke as his special envoy for North Korea was due in Hanoi to finalise preparations for the summit. Stephen Biegun is expected to hold talks with his counterpart Kim Hyok Chol, who arrived in Hanoi on Wednesday.

Trump said on Tuesday he wants North Korea to end its nuclear programme "ultimately," but had no pressing time schedule for this, provided it stuck to a freeze in nuclear and missile testing in place since 2017.

When Trump and Kim met in Singapore, it was the first ever meeting between a sitting US president and a North Korean leader.

Kim pledged then to work towards the complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula, but negotiations have made little headway since, with North Korea demanding a lifting of punishing US-led sanctions, a formal end to the 1950-53 Korean War and security guarantees.

In September, Kim expressed willingness to permanently dismantle facilities at his country's main nuclear site of Yongbyon in return for corresponding US moves.

Biegun held three days of talks in Pyongyang this month which he said would include discussion of such corresponding steps, but the State Department had offered no sign of any specific progress.

Biegun said after his North Korea visit his talks had been "productive" but there was "hard work to do" before the summit.

Sources in Hanoi said earlier that Vietnam was preparing for Kim Jong Un to arrive by train for the summit with Trump.

It could take Kim at least two and a half days to travel the thousands of kilometres through China by train, from the North Korean capital of Pyongyang to Vietnam, meaning he would have to set off later this week in time for his planned Feb 25 arrival.

Someone mentioned the upcoming "cave" in this thread - http://patrick.net/post/1322447/2019-02-17-dearest-kim-please-just-don-t-test-your-nukes-missiles-everything-is-great-then-xxoo-the-dotard

This is not what was said during the early days of the administration as well as what was being proclaimed on this forum as evidenced by this thread.
