Heritage Foundation senior fellow Michael Pillsbury breaks down the political implications of Secretary Yellen’s highly anticipated trip to China on ‘Fox & Friends Weekend.’

A top Chinese leader will lead a delegation to North Korea this week, both countries announced Tuesday.

Zhao Leji, who is chairman of the National People’s Congress and considered the No. 3 official in the ruling Communist Party, will visit North Korea from Thursday to Saturday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said.

No details were released on what was described as a goodwill visit, except that the delegation would attend the opening ceremony for the “China-North Korea Friendship Year.”
