I don't believe everything defectors say because they understandably generally want world leaders to change the situation in N.Korea. There's a lot of other sources also with information about the state of affairs.....but in this situation (Kim's health) the fact China has ‘sent’ officials and doctors there, if indeed that's true, defiantly evidences there's a serious issue in the North whatever it is. Also whenever there's an issue in the North alot of questionable information flows....I've also read China has assembled military at the border between China and N. Korea ..... Reports are Kim is not expected to survive. So we just have to wait and see what plays out.
This defector is of sound mind and a Christian, and becoming more and more active South Korean politics. Won't just throw random information out there because of personal agenda.
“How can a man living in Seoul know what is happening in the North’s elite class,” said Kim Hong-geol, chairman of the Korean Council for Reconciliation and Cooperation (KCRC). The KCRC is a South Korean private group promoting inter-Korean cooperation. “
The KCRC is a known political habitat of mouth pieces for the dictatorship in North Korea, masquerading as mere Korean “nationalists” in favor or “reconciliation”. In North Korean political terms, “reconciliation” means capitulation by South Korea, militarily, politically, one or the other or both.
Thank you Wuli. This is in keeping with my relatives' observations from the ground in S. Korea as well. :) President Moon Jae In unfortunately is of this ilk.
