North Korea: Next of Kim | Editorial A succession is clearly under way. What no one yet knows is how much further it has to goNorth Korea generates reams of comment, but few hard facts. We learn from the propaganda machine, which has begun extolling his qualities in poetry and song, that Kim Jong-un, the ailing leader's youngest son, is being groomed as successor. Five others were promoted to the rank of general, according to the Korean Central News Agency, including Kim Jong-il's elder sister Kim Kyong-hui.So the latest theory is that she and her husband, the vice-chairman of the national defence commission Jang Song-thaek, could mentor her nephew in the event of her brother's sudden death. Kim Jong-il had 14 years to prepare for power after being rolled out at the last party congress in 1980, and he is mindful that his son has only had two years to complete the same transformation from obscurity to Dear Leader. A succession is clearly under way. What no one yet knows is how much further it has to go.What can be said is that for a famine-prone country, dwarfed by the economies of its neighbours, China, Japan and South Korea, the regime is remarkably resilient. It has an ideology – xenophobic nationalism. It has enemies that give it legitimacy. And it is ruthless in its use of force as a lever of power. It executes officials scapegoated for policies that don't work and it is prepared to punish three generations of one family. It has extracted at least $6bn of aid since it first promised to denuclearise, and there is every hope that there are billions to come if it treads the same path.Analysts are hard put to come up with policies that work. The only effective sanction that targets the leadership rather than its brutalised people is to cut off its supplies of hard currency and luxury goods, but as some ex 承継が進んで明らかになった

US embassy cables: hanging North Korea out to dry | Editorial If the leaked cables are read and absorbed by Pyongyang, they may instil realism in a dictatorship so clearly lacking itThe US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, last night attempted to limit the damage caused to US diplomacy by the leaking of US embassy cables, which she claimed both endangered the lives of real people – who were used as sources by US diplomats – and tore at the fabric of proper international discourse. Within a few moments of the condemnation, Ms Clinton found herself referring to the contents of the cables as backing for US sanctions on Iran. She said that anyone reading the cables would see that Iran did pose a threat and that its Arab neighbours were concerned about it. Ms Clinton thus elegantly had her cake and ate it – in the same breath attacking the dangerously irresponsible exposure of information while also welcoming evidence that US policy on Iran had wider regional support than was earlier realised. Between the two moments, Ms Clinton also issued a muted apology for the leaks. If anything endangered confidential informers, it was the decision to disseminate their information on an intranet with a potential audience of 3 million.Nor should we axiomatically accept that the release of this information is harmful. Today's revelation from the embassy cables that North Korea had lost its strategic value to China as a buffer state between their forces and US ones, and that Beijing would accept the reunification of the peninsula under Seoul's leadership, should send shivers down the spine of the right person – the ailing dictator Kim Jong-il. Pyongyang could be about to lose its only insurer. Long before last week's lethal shelling of a South Korean island, it is clear from the private views of senior Chinese officials that their strategic asset 漏洩ケーブルが読んでいる場合は、平壌で吸収し、彼らはとても明確に状態のitThe米国秘書を欠いている者は、独裁政権でリアリズムをinstilの可能性があります、ヒラリークリントンは、被害を最小限に抑えるしようと昨夜、米国大使館ケーブルの漏れで米外交の原因になった米国の外交官源として使用された - - 彼女は両方の実質の人々の命を危険にさらしたと主張し、適切な国際的な談話の生地で引き裂いた

Kim Jong-il's youngest son 'being groomed for North Korean leadership' Speculation about Kim Jong-un role in North's succession plans has intensified since leader reportedly had stroke in 2008The youngest son of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, became a member of parliament last year, South Korean news reports said today.The reports are another sign that Kim Jong-un is being groomed to succeed his father as the head of the communist regime. It is widely believed that 68-year-old Kim plans to hand power to his third son at some point, although little is known about him. Speculation about the North's succession plans has intensified since the senior Kim reportedly had a stroke in 2008. He has led North Korea since 1994, when he took power in a hereditary succession.Kim Jong-un reportedly ran for a parliamentary seat in elections last March. His name, however, was not on the list of Supreme People's Assembly legislators, sparking speculation that he may not have run in the polls or could have used an alias.On Tuesday, the mass-circulation Dong-a Ilbo newspaper quoted a high-level western source as saying Kim was elected in the rubber-stamp legislature's Constituency No 216. The source said he obtained the information from unidentified North Korean figures about two months after the vote.Another national daily, JoongAng Ilbo, carried a similar report, saying the comments would confirm that Kim had formally entered government service after being touted as the North's next leader.The paper also said Constituency No 216 has a special meaning in North Korea because Kim Jong-il's birthday falls on 16 February. It said the western source spoke during a meeting with journalists in Seoul yesterday.A spokesman at South Korea's main spy agency, the National Intelligence Service, said his organisation believed there was a low probability the younger 北朝鮮の後継計画に金正日ウン役割について憶測以来、指導者が伝え2008The韓国北朝鮮の指導者、金正日の息子をストロークしていた、議会のメンバーは昨年、韓国の報道によるとなって強まっているtoday.Theレポート共産主義政権の責任者として父親を成功するために手入れされている金正日ウン別の記号です

N.Korean mass parade to mark rise of Kim's son North Korea is planning a major military parade and war games to mark a ruling party anniversary and the emergence of leader Kim Jong-Il's son as heir apparent, South Korea's defence minister said Monday.Kim Tae-Young, in the first such comment by a Seoul official, said Kim Jong-Un had been virtually anointed as eventual successor to his ailing father at last week's ruling party meeting in Pyongyang.The son is now expected to begin public activities as a successor-in-waiting, the minister said in a report to parliament. 北朝鮮は大規模な軍事パレードや与党周年を記念して、戦争ゲームや後継者として金正日総書記の息子の出現を計画している、韓国の防衛大臣は、Monday.Kimテヨンは、、最初のそのようなコメントによるとソウル関係者は、キムジョンウンは、事実上Pyongyang.Theの息子の最後の週の政府与党会議で、彼の病気の父親に、最終的に後継者として、今の公的活動を開始すると予想される油を注がれていたというの後継-待ちで、大臣がで述べている議会に報告してください
North Korea releases photo of Kim Jong-un Newspaper publishes picture of leader's son in latest sign he is being groomed for successionNorth Korea has released the first official photograph of Kim Jong-un, the heir apparent to the country's leader, after years of secrecy.Although two other pictures are said to show him, it has never been possible to verify that they are really of Kim Jong-il's youngest son. Even if they are, the images date from his childhood and early adolescence.Today's move is the latest stage in the grooming process for Kim Jong-un, who had never been mentioned by state media until it announced his appointment as a four-star general on Monday.Yesterday his appointment to other senior posts in the ruling Workers' party was announced at the first party assembly for three decades. Analysts say the moves clearly signal that his father wants him to take over after his death.The country's Rodong Sinmun newspaper today published a photograph of a group of top party officials – including Kim Jong-un, according to the caption – on its front page.It shows the younger Kim sitting one seat away from his father, with a military officer - identified as Vide Marshall Ri Yong Ho - between them.His hair is combed into a style much like Kim Jong-il's and he appears to be wearing a similar suit, although in black rather than his father's trademark khaki.Some detected a resemblance to his Kim Il-sung, his grandfather and the country's father, who is still revered in the North.Lee Jong-joo, a spokeswoman at South Korea's unification ministry, which handles relations with North Korea, told Associated Press a photo of Kim Jong-un had never been published before.Amid the eager appetite for information on the young man, one Japanese television station last year broadcast what was purportedly the first image of Kim 同紙は、最新の兆しの中、リーダーの息子の写真を彼はsuccessionNorth韓国は金正日ウンの最初の公式写真を発表したために手入れされている発行して、secrecy.Although数年後に相続人は、国の指導者に明らかに、他の2つの写真は彼を示すと言われている、それは本当に金正日の息子であることを確認できるようになっていない
North Korea: Jaw-jaw | Editorial Efforts to defuse the nuclear crisis have swung wildly from periods of sunshine diplomacy and nuclear decommissioning to nuclear testsThe Israel-Palestine conflict is not the only one to be locked in a cyclical grip from which escape seems impossible. Efforts to defuse the nuclear crisis with North Korea have swung wildly in the last two decades from periods of sunshine diplomacy and nuclear decommissioning to nuclear tests, the firing of long-range missiles, and the torpedoing of South Korean warships. The theory that Pyongyang does this to get noticed is starting to pall. So hints yesterday that North Korea wanted to talk again after a prolonged period of belligerence, which culminated in the sinking of a South Korean corvette, the Cheonan, come as little surprise.The hints came in many forms. Jimmy Carter, writing in the New York Times, said there were clear signs that Pyongyang wanted to resume negotiations on abandoning its nuclear weapons programme. The former US president has just returned from North Korea after negotiating the release of an American who had entered the country illegally. The North has also proposed holding military talks with the South on the disputed sea border off their west coast; it released the crew of a South Korean fishing boat which it claimed had strayed into its waters and suggested a resumption of reunions of families separated at the end of the Korean war – a gesture calculated to appeal to the south.There is, as ever, little clarity as to why these signals are being sent. Problems of succession continue to plague the leadership, and a meeting of the ruling party which was supposed to have taken place this month may have been postponed by a power struggle. The North's leader, Kim Jong-il, is finding it harder than he thought to anoin 取り組みは、核危機を打開する乱。日。外交、核の時代から核testsTheイスラエルパレスチナ紛争に廃止振ったが1つだけ、そこから脱出は不可能と思わ循環グリップでロックされてすることはできません
North Korea: a dangerous anachronism | Isabel Hilton Paranoid garrison states don't collapse. If Kim Jong-il's regime is to be reformed, it will be at Beijing's biddingThe relatives of the 46 men missing from the South Korean corvette Cheonan may never know what caused it to explode and sink last Friday. But if one explanation – that the ship struck a North Korean mine – is true, the men of the Cheonan will have become the latest casualties of the world's longest-running military conflict.This is not to say that North Korea meant to sink the Cheonan, though that cannot be ruled out. But regardless of intent, the state of congealed hostilities that exists on the 38th parallel is a dangerous anachronism. It is time it ended.The Korean peninsula is the final holdout of the cold war. The US, in the aftermath of the second world war, partitioned a country that had a history of nearly a thousand years as a unified kingdom, and whose citizens had a creditable record of fighting the Japanese. The US propped up a rightwing dictatorship in the south; the communist guerrilla leader, Kim Il-sung, established his dynasty in the north.When the US withdrew its troops in 1950, Kim invaded in an attempt to reunite the country. After he was beaten back to the 38th parallel, the US-led UN forces invaded the north, bringing China into the war. By 1953, after three years of heavy casualties and the devastation by bombing of North Korea, a truce was signed at the 38th parallel, and a dangerous stand-off began. A peace treaty was never concluded, though it has remained on the agenda, including the so far unproductive six-party talks.Though it seems unbelievable now, there was little to choose between the standards of living in North and South Korea until the 1980s – and, until democracy finally came to the south in the same decade, both were di 妄想の駐屯地の状態がしない崩壊
Justin Bieber: what if he did tour North Korea? A viral campaign has proposed sending Justin Bieber on a tour of North Korea. But what can he expect in a country with just one nightclub? And will he return in one piece?Now that web democracy has spoken and the internet's viral masses have chosen to send Justin Bieber to North Korea, perhaps some of us are putting our feet up thinking the hard work is done. The irritating pop whippet will soon be performing his melancholy ballads in prisoners' garb on a rock-chipping line, to an audience made up of the North Korean World Cup goalie and whoever has recently displeased Dear Leader Kim Jong Il.Well, don't get carried away because if Bieber did make it to North Korea, the reality wouldn't be quite as exciting. As a recent visitor to the country, I learned that one of the ways the hermit kingdom maintains its isolationist policies at a cultural level is by the sophisticated manipulation of its international visitors. To the outside world, North Korea appears to welcome the odd western influence, such as when they invited the New York Philharmonic Orchestra to perform in Pyongyang in 2008. While we might be tempted to read such an occasion as a positive cultural exchange, it's more likely the event was spun 180 degrees for North Koreans, who – if they heard about it at all – would have been told something more along the lines that America sent the musical convoy to pacify the Big Bad Leader Kim with their meagre tributes.I remember reading a similar spin tactic in the Pyongyang Times on a flight into the capital last year, on the day after Bill Clinton's reconnaissance trip to free the two imprisoned US journalists caught trespassing at the border. The Korean press made no mention of the real purpose of Clinton's visit, only reporting that he bowed deeply to General Kim and ウイルスキャンペーンは、北朝鮮のツアーでジャスティンビーバーを送る提案している
Korean tensions: China's responsibility | Editorial China may well think its interests are best served by the continued division of the peninsulaRelations between the two Koreas are at their worst for decades. The North says it has abrogated its non-aggression agreement with the South, trade links have been cut, shipping lanes closed, and the armed forces of both sides are on alert. The United States and South Korea are to conduct joint exercises, the traditional signal of readiness to act together in the event of real hostilities. Since a South Korean warship sank in March, almost certainly after being hit by a North Korean torpedo, the North has not offered a convincing denial of responsibility, nor an explanation, nor an apology. Now comes this tirade of threats and accusations.If the incident was the result of an act of insubordination by a junior or a senior officer, or group of officers, that might have been privately conveyed to South Korea, but no such message has been passed on. Yet the idea that the Northern leadership ordered the attack is hard to accept, since the regime's decisions have always in the past had an element of rationality. In this case, nobody can discern what North Korean purpose the attack could possibly serve. While we do not understand the origins of this sudden deterioration, the consequence is clearer. Outside powers must restrain the parties, and, in particular, China must restrain North Korea, since it is the only country that has any real leverage in Pyongyang.While Hillary Clinton got no public commitment of that kind during her talks in Beijing, it seems likely the Chinese will indeed apply some pressure. But Sino-American co-operation is not full-hearted, since the two countries differ so profoundly on the future of the Korean peninsula. Kim Jong-il is ageing and ailing. Change, poss 中国も、その利益が最高の南北間のpeninsulaRelationsの継続的な分割により提供されると思うことがありますが最悪のケースで数十年です
