News China’s newly-remodeled Korean War museum is a friendly gesture to North KoreaAfter a six-year shutdown, the museum is bigger and better than before — just like Beijing and Pyongyang’s relationship After six years of closures, China has finally reopened its remodeled Korean War museum. Four times the size of its original version, the museum is now a likely sign that Pyongyang and Beijing’s relationship is hitting a new high after years of dwindling ties. Located in the Chinese border city of Dandong, the museum — called the “Memorial of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea” — closed down shortly after Chinese President Xi Jinping made his first state visit to South Korea in 2014. © Korea Risk Group.
