Wasn’t there a recent story about Chinese troops entering North Korea?

Yep. From Jan 15:

China is in discussions with North Korea about stationing its troops in the isolated state for the first time since 1994, a South Korean newspaper reported Saturday.

The Chosun Ilbo newspaper quoted an anonymous official at the presidential Blue House as saying that Beijing and Pyongyang recently discussed details of stationing Chinese soldiers in the North's northeastern city of Rason.

The official said the soldiers would protect Chinese port facilities, but the location also gives access to the Sea of Japan (East Sea), while a senior security official was quoted as saying it would allow China to intervene in case of North Korean instability.

No doubt but it has also been posted at F.R. about N.K. troops entering China chasing their own border jumpers. They had to have this pre approved by the Chinese or it would not have happened.
