Relations between the two countries have been tensed as result of North Korea’s nuclear tests and weaponry, as well as China’s backing by the United States. The country’s relation has far more degraded after Kim purged many top-ranking officials close to Beijing. Any instability could lead to refugee crisis or U.S. troops on the borders.
A spokesperson for Chinese Foreign Ministry stated she was not aware of the situation and gave no further comment.North Korean media had no reports of the appointed meeting to China while an associated press had tweeted
