North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un made a last-minute visit to Beijing Monday; marking the first time the brutal despot has left the Hermit Kingdom since taking control following his fathers death in 2011.
According to Bloomberg, the details of the trip remain murky with three North Korean officials confirming the leaders visit to the Chinese capital.
The unannounced journey comes as the United States and North Korea prepare for their first face-to-face meeting between the communist ruler and President Trump; following months of escalating tensions between the two nations.
If this meeting is confirmed, it may actually be more productive than a photo op between Trump and Kim in a few weeks, said Melissa Hanham, an expert in North Korean studies.
North Korea is often perceived as an ungrateful junior brother, but recent tensions and increased nuclear and missile capabilities mean Chinas taking this seriously and doesnt want to be left out of the process, she added.
Presumably, part of whats on the agenda is the Chinese want a sense of what Kim expects or is seeking in the meeting with the U.S., if it ever occurs, as well as their attempt, of course, to influence it, said another expert.
Rodman barely speaks Engrish.
“since he took office in 2011”
China dictator tells Nork dictator, “Trump crazy man. You don’t know what he’ll do!”
If,by chance,something like that has occurred things could get very interesting in northeastern Asia is the coming months.
Would that be Gelman, or Gehman? So ronery.
Will he defect?
maybe he’s defecting....

“Its not his first time outside of North Korea, he went to school in Switzerland for awhile.”
As you phrase it, that is true. . .but the article doesn’t say that. . . the article sates this is his first time abroad “since taking control following his fathers death in 2011”
Post 9.
My thought also.
He has led a pretty sheltered life in Switzerland as a student Wasn’t really prepared to take over Maybe a nice comfortable hide away for life with no responsibilities and threats.
Why didn’t someone throw a bug zapper into his bath tub in Beijing ?
He’s going to be blown away by the progress elsewhere.
