Rumors spread that Kim Jong-un died in Beijing. North Korean state media released photos to refute the rumors

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was rumored to have died of cerebral hemorrhage in Beijing, China. However, the Korean Central News Agency released a photo on the 20th of Kim Jong-un taking his daughter Kim Jong-ae to visit a clothing and footwear exhibition, saying it was taken on the 19th to dispel the rumor. Xie Wanjun, a dissident living in the United States, broke the news on the X platform on the 18th that Kim Jong-un suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and was sent to Beijing for rescue but failed, but did not provide evidence. South Korea's National Intelligence Service previously stated that Kim Jong-un weighs about 140 kilograms and has a high risk of cardiovascular disease.

Trump: Willing to hold US-China-Russia summit to focus on denuclearization issues

U.S. President Trump expressed his willingness to hold three-way talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, but the focus will be on nuclear weapons control rather than the Ukraine issue. Earlier, it was reported that Putin proposed to hold talks in Shenzhen during the APEC summit. Ukraine and its European allies criticized the move as a betrayal of Ukraine, while Trump said Zelensky did not know what he was saying and believed someone else should negotiate on behalf of Ukraine. Both the Kremlin and China's Foreign Ministry said there were no concrete proposals for a meeting. Analysts pointed out that this meeting not only provides an opportunity for Beijing to enhance its diplomatic status, but may also overshadow the situation or make China more involved in the Ukrainian conflict, triggering a backlash in Europe.
