Li Hongzhong will join official North Korean commemorations of the signing of an armistice that ended fighting in the Korean War 70 years ago. North Korea, which launched the ultimately futile attempt to conquer its southern rival, considers the agreement a recognition of victory.The conflict brought in forces from the newly created People's Republic of China, aided by the Russian air force, while South Korea, the U.S.
Some experts say North Korea might ramp up its weapons tests around the anniversary of the armistice on Thursday, July 27. "We believe the visit will be conducive to promoting the sound and stable development of relations, contributing to regional peace and stability, and creating conditions for a political settlement of the peninsula issue," Mao said.
Dangerous and uncertain factors resulting from a collapse could include a wave of refugees crossing into China, a scramble for control of North Korea's nuclear weapons and the sudden presence of South Korean and American troops along China's border.
