Or, it may be that all of the provocations that have followed Kim Jong il s illness may be the work of Kim Jong un himself.

North Korea s leader, Kim Jong il, is reportedly ill.

North Korea s new boldness may reflect Kim Jong il s wish to polish the 26 year old Kim Jong un s image as a strong and decisive leader.

It is widely expected that Kim Jong il s third son, Kim Jong eun, will be appointed to a key position and be publicly announced as his father s successor.

Indeed, Kim Jong eun, the third son of Kim Jong il and his late consort Ko Young hee, was mooted as his father s successor almost a year ago.

Moreover, Kim Jong il, like his father, has consistently appointed members of his family to positions of power. Indeed, Kim Jong eun, the third son of Kim Jong il and his late consort Ko Young hee, was mooted as his father s successor almost a year ago.

Kim Jong il, however, has not yet even chosen his successor.

A majority of Chinese dislike Kim Jong il s dynastic Leninist regime.

The talks with Kim Jong il and his collaborators seemed promising.

First, Kim Jong il and his third son, Kim Jong un, may have become much more confident as a result of North Korea s emergence as a de facto nuclear state.

Some believe that North Korea has begun displaying its growing nuclear threat in order to secure the succession to power of Kim Jong un, Kim Jong il s rotund, twenty something youngest son.

It is known that Chinese leaders had hoped that Kim Jong il would survive long enough to consolidate support among the country s various factions for the succession of his son, Kim Jong un.

The idea was that isolation and sanctions would topple Kim Jong il s dictatorship.

Jang Song thaek had been seen as a kind of regent to Kim Jong un, the young successor to the Kim family dynasty, and was thought to be number two in the regime. But he owed his position to his wife, Kim Kyong hui, the only sister of Kim Jong il, Kim Jong un s deceased father.

When she died, her doctor and Kim Jong il were the only people present.

All such transactions have been conducted under the direct orders of Kim Jong Il.

Kim Jong Il will seek to maintain the relationship with Iran no matter what.

TOKYO North Korea s communist regime is, by most accounts, set to complete its second dynastic transfer of power, this time from Kim Jong il, who has ruled since 1994, to his youngest son, Kim Jong eun.

For example, Kim Il Sung groomed his son Kim Jong il as his successor for about two decades before the younger Kim took power in 1994. Kim Jong il, however, has not yet even chosen his successor.

In fact, Kim Il sung and his son, Kim Jong il, were typical Korean rulers.

Kim Jong il is a naughty boy who wants attention and incentives to behave decently.

But it is unclear how much influence China s government holds over Kim Jong un s regime.

It has less confidence in the North s inexperienced new ruler, Kim Jong un, than it had in his father, Kim Jong il. Chinese leaders are also beginning to recognize the risks that North Korea is imposing on China.

On September 25, the South Korean media reported rumors that Kim Kyong hui, the sister of the late Dear Leader, Kim Jong il and the aunt of North Korea s twenty something leader Kim Jong un was seriously ill.

Over the past decade, Kim Jong il has emphasized the importance of his military first policy.

But Kim Kyong hui may have other plans, such as becoming Kim Jong il s successor herself.

The Dear Leader s son, Kim Jong chol, is said to be a fan of Eric Clapton.

Kim Jong un s New Year message emphasized, among other issues, the importance of inter Korean relations.

The leadership change is occurring at the worst possible time. It is known that Chinese leaders had hoped that Kim Jong il would survive long enough to consolidate support among the country s various factions for the succession of his son, Kim Jong un.

International relations in northeast Asia will become more subtle and unstable as the Kim Jong il era ends.

Moreover, Kim Jong il, like his father, has consistently appointed members of his family to positions of power.

Indeed, Kim Jong il is quoted as saying When my sister turns violent, no one can stop her.

Shielded behind a protective China, Kim Jong il launched his rocket anyway, and the US refrained from action.

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il s fondness for Hollywood movies is unlikely to affect his nuclear weapons program.

On 17 December 2011, the Supreme Leader of North Korea Kim Jong il died from a heart attack.

Since then, South Korean intelligence institutions have been assessing Kim Jong il s ability to organize an orderly dynastic succession.

There is, indeed, a growing belief that Kim Jong il might, at any moment, designate Kim Kyong hui to serve as a caretaker for the third generation successor after his death. But Kim Kyong hui may have other plans, such as becoming Kim Jong il s successor herself.

Indeed, it is widely expected that a new system of collective leadership will emerge if Kim Jong il is incapacitated.

But it is neither useful nor very plausible to assume that Kim Jong un and his military advisers are mad.
