#1 Maybe prove to be a moot point becaUSE, AS PER world mil forum, HU JINTAO'S MOST LIKELY 2012 SUCCESSOR amy have to decide on China's response to post-JONG-IL NORTH KOREA, i.e. IIUC whether to continhue proping up the Kim Regime ["business as usual"] or else treat the DPRK AS A DE FACTO, ALBEIT "AUTONOMOUS", CHINESE PROVINCE???

Iff The Kim Family-Regime are lucky, a best-case scenario may see the DPRK end up as a COUNTRY-SCALE, CHINESE VERSION OF [post-UK] HONG KONG OR SHANGHAI???

#2 So the Chinese are protecting a legitimate pretender to North Korea's throne.

Jong-Nam is objectively a sword dangling over whoever rules North Korea as heir to the Kim Il Sung regime.

If the need arises he could be installed as North Korea's ruler, formally legitimizing a Chinese intervention (see Puyi and Manchukou.)

#4 Why is it that Kimmie Senior's kids are fat? Everybody else in N. Korea are on the verge of starvation?

(Yes, I know the answer)
