Middle East News SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Chinese President Xi Jinpings arrival Thursday in South Korea for a summit simultaneously snubs nuclear-armed North Korea, bolsters an already booming trade relationship with Seoul and sends Washington and Tokyo a message of Beijings growing influence south of the Korean Demilitarized Zone. While there were smiles and pomp for Xis arrival in the South, North Korea welcomed the leader of its only major ally and crucial source of fuel and food with a flurry of recent rocket and missile tests, the latest on Wednesday. The launches, as well as a vow Thursday by the Norths military to conduct more tests, are seen in part as Pyongyang demonstrating its anger at being jilted for its archrival.
