 Xi Jinping to visit North Korea for first time in nearly seven years as China seeks to reinforce ties with Pyongyang  BmChinese leader Xi Jinping is set to visit North Korea next week, marking his first trip to the country in nearly seven years as Beijing moves to strengthen ties with its nuclear-armed neighbor. The visit, announced by both countries, is scheduled as a two-day state trip beginning Monday. It comes as China seeks to reinforce its strategic influence in the region while North Korea continues expanding its relationships with other partners, including Russia. In recent years, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has deepened cooperation with Moscow, including sending troops and military equipment to support Russia’s war in Ukraine. At the same time, Pyongyang has also been working to repair and strengthen its relationship with Beijing, its largest trading partner and key source of economic support.

SHARON STONE SAYS SHE BELIEVES HER MOM FELT 'INTERNALLY INCOMPETENT' AFTER MOVING IN WITH HER AMID DAD’S ILLNESS. (PHOTO).


 Sharon Stone says she believes her mom felt 'internally incompetent' after moving in with her amid dad’s illness


Sharon Stone’s recent podcast appearance offered a raw glimpse into her lifelong struggle with her mother, Dorothy. Speaking on The Person Who Believed in Me, she revealed that she never once heard her mom say “I love you,” a silence that weighed heavily on her even into adulthood. 


When her parents moved in during her father’s terminal illness in 2009, Stone sensed that the situation left her mother feeling inadequate, which often manifested as anger. 


Rather than confronting her directly, Stone admitted she tried to overcompensate by offering support a pattern she now recognizes sometimes left family members dependent and resentful.


Her memories of preparing for her father’s final days were especially poignant. Stone described scrubbing her entire house by hand, cleaning every cupboard, and transforming her guest house into a disguised hospital space, complete with supportive fixtures designed to look elegant. 


She wanted everything to be perfect for him, reflecting both her devotion and her tendency to take on the role of caretaker. 


That same instinct carried into her mother’s last days in 2025, though Stone confessed she longed for words of love and reconciliation that never came.


Despite the pain, Stone acknowledged her mother’s emotional struggles and the complexity of their bond. She admitted she wanted closure to hear “I love you” or “I’m proud of you” but instead had to accept the relationship as it was. 


Her reflections underscore the difficulty of navigating family dynamics shaped by silence and unresolved tension. 


Now, as she prepares for the premiere of her new film In Memoriam at the Tribeca Film Festival, Stone continues to balance her public career with deeply personal stories of resilience and loss.
