On July 23, 2018, Ryu was in Beijing to "strengthen its economic ties" with China.[1] Korean Central Television reported that "Ryu was visiting Beijing, on his way to Guinea" with a stop in China.[1] This stop "coincided with a US sanctions enforcement notice."[1]

On May 14, 2018, Ryu arrived in China to possibly discuss "follow-up measures to what was agreed during the summit talks held last week between North Korea's Supreme leader Kim Jong Un and China's Paramount leader Xi Jinping."[2] During this stay in China, he is reported to have stayed at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.[2]
