Chinese leader Xi Jinping visited North Korea this week for the first time in 7 years.
The two-day visit was important for two reasons, one of which was spoken and one of which was left unsaid.
The spoken one was the deep and unwavering support that both leaders showed for each other and each other's countries.
That was particularly important to China because North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been building relations with Russia in recent years and China wanted reaffirmation that it remains North Korea's most important partner.
The unspoken one was about North Korea's nuclear weapons development.
Neither the communique nor the many state media reports about the visit made any mention of North Korea's nuclear weapons.
That was important to Kim Jong-un because he wants his country to be recognized as a nuclear weapons state.
China's position hasn't changed on that, but by not mentioning it, it perhaps opened the door a little bit wider to that happening in the future.
