Real power: Xi Jinping Can Make Or Break Any Deal Between Trump And Kim

[pinto + 293]

Kim Jong Un has met the Chinese leaders twice in recent months. Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un will meet(probably) next month to negotiate a deal that could avert nuclear war. But the ultimate success of any agreement hinges on someone else: China’s President Xi Jinping. As North Korea’s largest trading partner, China’s enforcement of United Nations sanctions helped bring Kim to the negotiating table while also shielding his regime from Trump’s warnings of “fire and fury.” Now that Trump and Kim are meeting, Xi can support any deal that is good for China and undermine anything that goes against its interests. “China must continue to be strong & tight on the Border of North Korea until a deal is made,” Trump said on Twitter on Monday. “The word is that recently the Border has become much more porous and more has been filtering in. I want this to happen, and North Korea to be VERY successful, but only after signing!” Main actor in this movie, aren't Trump or KJU -  it's a Chinese president.
