BEIJING: South Korean President Moon Jae-In was set to meet with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing on Thursday amid mixed US signals about potential talks to resolve the North Korean nuclear crisis. These dialogues cannot really start without the normalization of the bilateral relations.”Possible talks? Washington’s top diplomat said these discussions involved him, the US defense secretary and military chief, and senior Chinese officials. But China’s priority has been to convince the United States and North Korea to hold talks. But “Pyongyang can’t have its cake and eat it, too,” the state-run China Daily warned in an editorial Thursday.
