China sends team including doctors to North Korea regarding Kim Jong Un: Report
washingtonexaminer ^ | 4/24/2020 | Zachary Halaschak

China has reportedly dispatched a team of officials and medical experts to North Korea just days after reports emerged that leader Kim Jong Un might be having health issues.

The team is led by a senior member of the Chinese Communist Party’s International Liaison Department, which deals with the hermit nation. The delegation left on Thursday, according to Reuters. It is unclear what the delegation’s visit means in terms of the dictator’s health.

State Department spokesperson said at the time of the reports that the department is aware and “continuing to monitor the situation.” An official with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence told the Washington Examiner on Tuesday that it was also “monitoring the situation.” National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien said Tuesday that the United States was “very closely” monitoring the reports.

The U.S. reportedly has extensive contingency plans in place for dealing with the rogue nation if Kim suddenly dies.

A couple days ago I watched Trump’s speech. He specifically DID NOT wish Kim Jong Un well. He very specifically wished him “Good Luck”.
For whatever it’s worth.

It really is fascinating. Even though China’s dark forces are seemingly riding high (in a sense) off the global havoc their virus has caused...by the grace of God it may actually the signal the beginning of the end to their regime...

And that of North Korea’s.

I am convinced this is how the long game will unfold once every country in the free world gets their bearings again!

China wants to make sure that NK will NEVER be friendly with us. They probably will make sure Un is done and replaced with a real tough guy who’s more Chinese than Korean.

China is preparing to punish our farmers by suspending purchases with the national emergency clause in the trade agreement. I heard an analyst mentioning this clause on FOX.

I wonder what they are. Somehow, I think one of those contingencies would be a subtle reminder to the Nork military to not try anything funny as it relates to South Korea or our troops.

I’ve read that Kim smokes 4 packs of cigarettes a day and was over 300 lbs. Sheesh if that isn’t a heart attack waiting to happen, I don’t know what is. And the guy is still in his 30s.

Today I saw the president say he hopes Kim is alright.

"A couple days ago I watched Trump’s speech. He specifically DID NOT wish Kim Jong Un well."

Trump, specifically, said "I wish him well."

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-kim-jong-uns-health-unclear-but-i-wish-him-well
Begins around 1:08.

And, as absurd as it might seem on the surface, the country should "wish him well" as well.

If he were to die, any progress Trump has made to end the Korean war will evaporate. His sister is almost certainly not likely to take over, long term anyway. There will be a military coup. Imagine one of their generals in charge of NK.

Maybe they will inject him with disinfectant. 😁

Oh China wants Kim in place. Although they’d likely have less issues with his sister..

Yes, as he wants to keep channels open with Kim....and not rile the officials behind Kim.

It’s very interesting watching the developments.....the fact China has gone there evidences ‘something’ is amiss in N.Korea...esepecially anything that threatens any shakup in leadership...China would definately have a say over. They know the International Leaders have very specific plans should Kim not be in power....and it’s questionable if his sister would assume control.

China will always say and do whatever is necessary to retain N.Korea as their buffer zone.

As for how China handles their trade agreement with the US....well it’s been a heated trade war to begin with, add this virus’s economic damage all leaders are searching for ways to stabilize their country. China’s taking a lot of hits within and without since this virus so you can bet their officials are esepcially anxious to stop the damage.....
