An olive-green North Korean train, emblazoned with a gold stripe, carried leader Kim Jong Un into China on Tuesday for a grand military parade that President Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin will also attend. Since taking power in 2011, Kim has now made nine international trips and crossed the border into South Korea twice, using his bespoke, bulletproof train for most of his travel.
