It’s kinda hard to take a secret mission on a train.

Why another train ride, so soon after the last train ride to China? He’s becoming a habitual beggar towards China, for all of his wants from them.

Three trips over the span of a year. It is an indication that things are not going well for him. The leverage he has is not as good as it used to.

Kim's train is equipped with conference rooms, an audience chamber and bedrooms, with a pair of Mercedes-Benzes on standby, not to mention satellite phone connections and flat-screen TVs so the leader can be briefed and issue orders.

Unfortunately I have heard that his health has improved considerably. The transition to the Little Devil has been slowed down to make it more orderly.
