I'm banking on Chinese favored faction. China still wants a buffer between American dominated SK vs. them. They also don't want the extreme rhetoric and saber rattling of the Kims either. If Kim gets toppled I'd suspect it will be with Chinese backing.

Being a poor Chinese urban peasant would be a huge upgrade from starving North Korean at this point.

Why absorb when eventually they will all just die, one way or another!

Sounds like they arrested a woman at the airport carrying Vietnamese travel documents.

Isn't his sister a lot more calculating? Bannon to his Trump if you will?

This has been news in China for years now. He was living in Macau the past decade being sheltered and backed by the Chinese. China needed him as their puppet for when they eventually take out Kim Jong Un.
Beijing is not happy!

He has two daughters, Kim Sul-song and Kim Yo-Jong
Yo-?Jong is a climber in the government, she was recently appointed as the vice director of the propaganda department. So she's responsible for basically making her brother a god figure.
By all accounts she's well educated and very smart and ruthless.
Kim Sul-song
Is also in the propaganda department however, she also holds a Lt Col rank in their security forces and acted as her father's head of personal security.

This is some serious Game of Thrones stuff. The military and the Chinese government backing rivals, many of whom are relatives of Kim Jong Un. Meanwhile, Kim Jong Un is aggressively taking out those rivals.

I always assumed it would have an ironic name like the Ministry of Truth.

this whole thing is descending into bugs bunny levels of wackiness.
the woman in the picture claims Indonesian citizen. She another woman and her boy friend have been arrested and they trying to confirm that they are Indonesian.The boy friend claims to be malaysian.
From what I'm hearing is that the lady in the picture claims that four men asked her to play a prank on their friend by rubbing a chemical in his face.
Jong-Nam's autopsy was completed even though NK officials protested it.

The method leaves me scratching my head a little bit. If I was to assassinate someone with poison spray and a cloth I would make sure I was gowned and gloved and masked so I didn't breath in or get any on me. Seems an extremely sloppy/dangerous method and perhaps lends credence to the prank theory.
