Even though it is 18 years away, the 2035 eclipse could present a

of totality, and that one Congressman is currently pushing a bill to
ban American travel to North Korea.

If that ban is still in effect in 2035, it should be noted that
Americans who do not live in the United States will be not subject to
the travel restrictions, if they hold dual nationality and use their
other passport to travel to Pyongyang in 2035.

So for those Chinese citizens who hold USA/China dual citizenship
(and there are quite a few) who live in China, and decide to travel
to Pyongyang in 2035, you can use your Chinese passport to enter and
depart North Korea and will be not subject to this ban, if it is
still in place in the year 2035.
China/USA dual nationals who live in China, use money drawn on Chinese
banks, and use their Chinese passports to travel to Pyongyang in 2035
for that eclipse will be not subject to any restrictionn on DPRK
travel imposed by the American government.

Or, to simplify things greatly, one could note that the eclipse will also be
visible from NE China and Japan, for which these travel problems are
unlikely to be a factor.
