CHINA-POLITICS-CONGRESS-US-NKOREA

(COMBO) This combination of file pictures created on October 16, 2017 shows China's President Xi Jinping (C) at the Great Hall of People in Beijing on April 20, 2017, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un (L) being broadcast on a large video screen in Tokyo as pedestrians walk past following a North Korean missile test that passed over Japan on September 15, 2017, and US President Donald Trump (R) boarding Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base on October 7, 2017. As Chinese leader Xi Jinping prepares to embark on a second five-year term this week, the impulsive leaders of North Korea and the United States could spoil his party. Xi could always be at the mercy of two unpredictable men, US President Donald Trump and North Korean strongman Kim Jong-Un -- a predicament that points to the limits of China's bid to project soft power. / AFP PHOTO / TO GO WITH AFP STORY CHINA-POLITICS-CONGRESS-US-NKOREA,FOCUS BY RYAN MCMORROW (Photo credit should read FRED DUFOUR,BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI,TORU YAMANAKA/AFP via Getty Images)
