N. Korea: Kim Jong-il's Heir 'Met Chinese President'

North Korean leader Kim Jong-il's son and heir apparent Jong-un met Chinese President Hu Jintao during a recent trip to China, North Korean sources claimed Friday.

They said Jong-un, escorted by a team of three bodyguards, accompanied Kim senior on his China tour but traveled in a separate vehicle from his father and behaved as if he were a member of the entourage to avoid exposure to the press.

Kim senior introduced his son to Hu and other Chinese leaders at a dinner in Changchun, Jilin on Aug. 27, the sources said. At the dinner, Kim senior was apparently in high spirits and drank more than a bottle of the Chinese white liquor maotai. Some members of his entourage also drank a lot, they added.

It seems the Chinese leadership promised Kim senior to stand by the North as before when power is handed down to Jong-un.

Meanwhile, sources said China drastically increased aid to North Korea since last year. In addition to free grants, China is persuading the North to conduct economic reform through economic cooperation.

What fraction of these "peoples' republics" become hereditary monarchies? Spain, Cuba, and North Korea come immediately to mind. There have got to be more among the third whirled nations.
