#1 I doubt that 'Emperor Kim' has had any real control for a few years now.

#2 Various POSTERS/ARTICS on WORLD MIL FORUM + OTHER make no bones that NOKOR is a "FACE OF CHINA" [PRC = CCCC/CPC], + a de facto CHIN "BUFFER STATE", etc. CHIN's desired or proposed JOINT PRC-NK MASSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJS [Dual Use"] essens means that any sovereignty the STARVING DPRK thinks it has will be steadily inevitably lost to Chin + CHIN "SOFT POWER" in future time. PRAGMATICALLY, it behooves NOKOR = DPRK to dev indigenous nucweapons, OVERTLY AGZ THE US-ALLIES BUT COVERTLY REALISTICALLY AGZ CHINA. Iff CHIn is success in its endeavors, it means in LT that SOUTH KOREA WILL BE THE ONLY ANCIENT KOREAN TERRITORY ACTUALLY CONTROLLED BY KOREANS.

Lest we fergit, CHINA > desires to extend its sovereignty into the NORTH-EAST CHINA SEAS = SEA OF JAPAN INCLUD CONTINENTAL SHELF. MEANING ANY FUTURE REMNANT OF ANCIENT KORYE = SOUTH KOREA WILL BE SURROUDED ON THREE SIDES-PLUS BY CHINA.
