N. Korea's Kim apparently in Chinese port city near Beijing: source

BEIJING, May 5 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il appears to have stopped by the eastern Chinese port city of Tianjin on Wednesday morning on his way to Beijing, where he is expected to hold a summit with Chinese President Hu Jintao, a source said.

Kim's train left the port city of Dailan Tuesday night, ending the first leg of his trip to China. During the visit, he is expected to seek economic support from Beijing and discuss ways for his country to rejoin stalled six-nation nuclear talks.

Kim's apparent stop at Tianjin, about 150 kilometers southeast of Beijing, signals his interest in developing his own country's port cities as a way to boost trade and win revenue.

The communist North has been struggling for years to combat economic troubles marked by mismanagement and a lack of energy. They worsened after a botched currency reform last year.

Maybe Kim will designate Obama as his heir. He has been auditioning for leadership of a communist country.

To do that, his birth certificate has to be forged again to show that he was born in Mt. Baekdu, their holy mountain, not in Kenya or Hawaii.:-)
