BEIJING: A "suspected explosion" near the China-North Korean border caused a small earthquake on Monday (Jun 17), Chinese seismology authorities said, less than an hour after news broke about Chinese President Xi Jinping's upcoming trip to Pyongyang.
According to the China Earthquake Networks Center, the 1.3-magnitude earthquake with a zero-metre depth occurred at 7.38pm in Hunchun city in northeastern Jilin province.

It was unclear what caused the explosion.
In the past, nuclear tests by Pyongyang have caused tremors around the northern border China shares with North Korea.
But the latest incident occurred more than 200 kilometres (125 miles) from Punggye-ri, the North's nuclear site under Mount Mantap.
Analysts played down the tremor, saying it may have been caused by a number of factors.

"Don't be alarmed just yet folks," tweeted Vipin Narang, a security studies professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Mining explosions for example can cause small tremors."
An official at South Korea's meteorological administration said there was "nothing in particular that can be detected through the seismic waves", according to the country's Yonhap news agency.
In September 2017, a test conducted at North Korea's nuclear site at Punggye-ri triggered a 6.3-magnitude earthquake that was felt across China's northern border.
Chinese seismologists later concluded that Pyongyang's main nuclear test site had partially collapsed, rendering it unusable, following the massive bomb blast - which the North claimed was a hydrogen bomb test.
Experts later cast doubt on that claim, with Jeffrey Lewis of the Middlebury Institute of Strategic Studies commenting that there was "no evidence" that it was unusable.
In January 2016, Chinese border residents in northern Jilin province were evacuated from buildings after feeling tremors from a North Korean nuclear test.

BEIJING: Xi Jinping will visit North Korea this week, state media said on Monday (Jun 17), marking the first visit there by a Chinese president in more than a decade.
Xi will be in Pyongyang on Thursday and Friday for a state visit at the invitation of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, said Chinese broadcaster CCTV.


"Both sides will exchange views on the (Korean) peninsula situation, and push for new progress in the political resolution of the peninsula issue," CCTV said in a lengthy report that led the evening broadcast.
China and North Korea have worked to improve relations in the past year after they deteriorated as Beijing backed a series of UN sanctions against Pyongyang over its nuclear activities.
Kim has travelled to China four times in the past year to meet Xi.
Xi's upcoming visit marks the 70th year since China and North Korea established diplomatic ties, said CCTV. The last Chinese president to visit North Korea was Hu Jintao in 2005.


Neighboring China is North Korea's lone major ally and the visit comes amid a protracted dispute over the North's denuclearisation with the United States.
Kim and US President Donald Trump held a summit last year in Singapore and one in Hanoi this year, but hopes among observers over imminent progress toward denuclearisation have since faded.
"YOU CANNOT IGNORE CHINA"
The timing of Xi's visit may raise eyebrows at the White House as it comes one week before the G20 summit in Japan, where US President Donald Trump expects to meet with Xi to discuss their trade war.
With Beijing and Washington at loggerheads over trade, China is keen to remind Trump of its influence in Pyongyang, with whom his nuclear negotiations - a point of pride for the US president, who faces an election next year - are also at a deadlock.
"The signal would be that China remains a critical stakeholder," said Jingdong Yuan, a professor specialising in Asia-Pacific security and Chinese foreign policy at the University of Sydney.
"You cannot ignore China and China can play a very important role," he told AFP. Xi could thus use the trip as a "bargaining chip" in the US-China trade war, he added.
According to an informed source in Pyongyang, Beijing was keen to arrange a visit to North Korea ahead of any encounter between Xi and Trump at the G20 summit - with trip logistics finalised only last month.
In recent days, hundreds of soldiers and workers have been sprucing up the Friendship Tower in Pyongyang, pruning bushes and replanting flowerbeds on the approaches to the monument, which commemorates the millions of Chinese troops Mao Zedong sent to save the forces of Kim's grandfather Kim Il Sung from defeat during the Korean War.
A detachment of soldiers in white jackets was also seen outside the Liberation War Museum - which includes a section on the Chinese contribution - potentially indicating that it may be on Xi's itinerary.
According to diplomatic sources in the North Korean capital, after Kim's many trips to meet Xi, there were increasingly strong feelings in Pyongyang that the Chinese leader should reciprocate for reasons of saving face.
"From a North Korean perspective, it's time for Chairman Xi to visit," said John Delury, an expert on US-China relations and Korean Peninsula affairs at Yonsei University in Seoul.
"They do keep score and it's like four to zero," he recently told AFP. "So far, Xi has approached China-North Korea relations very much as a function of US-China relations and kind of calculated in terms of that."
It will be Xi's first trip to North Korea since taking power in 2012, though he visited the country as vice president in 2008.
"China and the DPRK are friendly neighbours," CCTV said on Monday, adding that Xi and Kim have reached a "series of important consensus" in past meetings and that a new chapter of bilateral relations had begun.

Asia Read all about it: Xi visit on Pyongyang front pages

PYONGYANG: Chinese President Xi Jinping's forthcoming visit to North Korea this week was in the news in Pyongyang Tuesday (Jun 18), but in the country where Kim Jong Un comes first, it only just made the front page.
The Rodong Sinmun newspaper, the official mouthpiece of the ruling Workers' Party, made it the fourth item on page one, in a highlight box but without a picture.


"Xi Jinping to visit DPRK", read the headline, using the North's formal name.
The one-sentence story said that Xi would be making a state visit "at the invitation of Kim Jong Un", giving both men's national and party titles.
The trip by the leader of the North's key diplomatic ally and main provider of trade and aid has long been awaited, and comes after Kim travelled to China four times for meetings with Xi.

But the Rodong Sinmun's top item is always about Kim, and it led Tuesday with news that the Venezuelan city of Naguanagua had awarded him its top honour to mark the one-year anniversary of his Singapore summit with US President Donald Trump.
Nuclear negotiations with Washington have since stalled, with a second summit in Hanoi breaking up as the two sides disagreed over the extent of sanctions relief and what the North would be willing to give up in return.
Analysts say that Xi's journey is intended as a signal to Trump - with whom he is embroiled in a separate dispute over trade - of his backing for Kim and influence with him.

In Pyongyang, commuters waiting for their trains read about the visit in newsstands at subway stations.
The city's metro system is one of the deepest in the world, intended for use as a shelter in the event of nuclear war.
The stations have names such as Victory, Glory and Reunification, and some are ornately decorated with marble columns and mosaics of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, or scenes of development, and mainstays of tourist itineraries in the capital.
Many of the travellers Tuesday wore wellingtons for protection against the heavy rain that was falling in the capital - after months of drought, the North has seen significant precipitation this month.
Each morning subway staff insert the latest edition of the paper in the station displays - one of the main ways ordinary citizens can access the publication, which is always uniformly supportive of the authorities and the Kim family.
Its second item Tuesday was on the many books written by Kim's father and predecessor Kim Jong Il.
