Such direct criticism of China by Pyongyang is unusual and indicative of the extent to which Kim’s regime is tied to North Korea’s nuclear program, even at the risk of its ties with China. China’s accounts for 90 percent of North Korea’s trade so is an essential lifeline for the country. (“The agency made it clear that Pyongyang will never give up its nuclear program in return for maintaining relations with China, saying the nuclear program is ‘as precious as’ its own life, no matter how valuable the North-China friendship is.”) http://world.kbs.co.kr/english/news/news_hotissue_detail.htm?No=10070379.

Kim Jong-un’s uncle, Jang Song-thaek, served in the role of critical intermediary between Beijing and Pyongyang. Married to Kim Il-sung’s only daughter (the late Kim Jong-il’s sister) and considered young Kim’s mentor, he was the only primary North Korean official associated with China’s more agreeably perceived Kim Jong-il. Song-thaek’s support of China-endorsed economic reforms made him a diplomatic friend of Beijing, meeting with former Chinese President Hu Jintao and cooperating with the Chinese government. His execution on December 12, 2013, was therefore a blow to Sino-North Korean relations, leaving a more unmanageable leader to be dealt with by China (http://www.businessinsider.com/jang-song-thaek-execution-and-china-2013-12).

President Xi’s China Dream was introduced by him in a speech in November 2012 when he said “dare to dream, work assiduously to fulfill the dreams and contribute to the revitalization of the nation.” The term became popular in 2013 starting in China’s state-owned media to follow Xi’s words, and meant to recreate pride in their nation among the Chinese.
