North Korea Watch: He Needs to Get Out More
Signs indicate that Kim Jong-il will be visiting China soon, this report from The Herald says.
Also, in the aftermath of North Korea's experiment with currency reevaluation and its subsequent skydive, it would appear that Korea is more in need of aid than usual.
As stated before, Kim's big promises about the future of the nation appear to have backed him into a corner that he will have to negotiate his way out of. It doesn't mean they won't try reckless, dangerous stunts now and then, but they are almost certain to make more overtures in the near future.
The question will be how other members of the six-part talks respond.

The only thing old Jeong-Il needs is to be loved. That will make him feel so good that NK will not be tyrannised anymore. Who would love him, though? Cheers on the blog, man !
