China closing main road connection with North Korea

The bridge closure comes after state-owned airline Air China suspended flights Tuesday between Beijing and North Korea due to a lack of demand, deepening the North’s isolation amid mounting U.N. sanctions.

Beijing is North Korea’s only significant ally but has grown increasingly frustrated over its nuclear and missile tests that have brought a threat of war and chaos to China’s northeastern border.

In what was seen as a bid to improve relations, the head of the ruling Communist Party’s International Department traveled to Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital, last week.

Few details have been released about his itinerary, including whether he met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The trip followed a visit to Beijing earlier this month by U.S. President Donald Trump, who renewed calls for China to step up pressure on North Korea to end its missile and nuclear programs.
