The only way that reform happens is if the government collapses completely, and China really won't let that happen.

An assasination right now is irrelevant.
Well, one of the rumours is:

Quote:
One person on Weibo wrote (poor translation), "confirmed reports, the top leaders in # Korea # # jinzhengen was assassinated # . Reportedly occurred at 2:45 on the 10th, gold and three fat was assassinated in their own villa, the Korean Embassy in Beijing has brought together more than 30 cars, the scale of more than Kim Jong-il's death the situation.”
So, that would mean more than just Kim Jong-Un were assassinated. Gold and Three Fat, too! Of course, it is just the Chinese Twitter, so who knows. And Three Fat might be Kim Jong-Un.
