Secretary of State John Kerry in China

Given the current anxiety over North Korea - a nation China has propped up for over sixty years - John Kerry's trip to China is a very important one for U.S. diplomatic strategy.

China is considered to be the only nation that has much influence over North Korea's government in Pyonyang, and they have shown some willingness to get tough with North Korea in recent months.  However, future cooperation with China over North Korea is by no means assured, and Secretary Kerry is there this week to try to strengthen that cooperation.
