Or he simply wish to continue what NK always been doing, but just consolidating his power? He might even want to "reform" it even further away from freedom for its people... “Jang was a very iconic figure in North Korea, particularly with economic reform and innovation,” said Zhu Feng, professor of international relations at Peking University, and a specialist in North Korea. “He is the man China counted on to move the economy in North Korea. This is a very ominous signal.” [...] Mr. Jang had visited China on a number of occasions and had been considered the most important advocate of the Chinese style of economic overhaul that the government in Beijing has been urging North Korea to embrace. Source In addition, from late November: Activity has been observed at a North Korean nuclear site consistent with an effort to restart a reactor, the International Atomic Energy Agency chief, Yukiya Amano, has said. Source And early December (last week) North Korea has deployed more attack helicopters and rockets near a disputed western sea border with South Korea, the South’s intelligence chief told Parliament on Friday, raising fears that the North might be planning a provocation to deflect attention from reports of a brutal internal power struggle. Source However, all of this doesn't mean that there's going to be some kind of provocation from North Korea. First off, it might all be tied to the ousting of Kim's uncle, and it may have been preparation for a way to get the attention away from the ousting if it didn't go as smoothly as it did. Secondly, North Korea moves stuff around on a regular basis and it doesn't necessarily mean anything. Unfortunately, with North Korea, you never know. Especially if some of the higher-ups in the military start fearing for their positions, seeing how Jang was arrested and executed in quick succession, and some sort of power play appears, a small-scale attack on South Korea (like the sinking of Cheonan or shelling of Yeonpyeong were) seems kind of probable, if I've understood the experts correctly. But, as I said, with North Korea, you never know. | ||

In a move that George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth would have applauded, North Korea has erased 99 per cent of its state news archive. Around 35,000 articles have vanished from the official website of the Korea Central News Agency (KCNA), and approximately 20,000 articles from the website of the Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the ruling Workers’ Party. As a result, KCNA’s digital archive now only reaches back to October, with the exception of a small number of articles about Kim Jong-un, such as “Kim Jong-un Sends Congratulatory Message to Youth”, from August 2012. Source The article continues on to say that it may be temporary, due to server load or just difficulties in removing just the ones about Kim's late uncle, but if any of those are the case, then it's weird that they've taken the trouble to get those articles removed from Google searches as well... | ||

BEIJING -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's powerful uncle was stripped naked, thrown into a cage, and eaten alive by a pack of ravenous dogs, according to a newspaper with close ties to China's ruling Communist Party. Link | ||

I hope its bs. it sounds so out of place in this time. ok maybe north korea doesnt have 120 "hunting hounds" but I dont think its out of their ability to find enough dogs to do the trick. im pretty sure its bullshit. Wel see north koreas reaction, if they dont respond at all, then its bullshit. if they deny everything its probably true | ||

That said, I do think it's likely that this was made up by whatever Chinese tabloid ran it. | ||
