Intelligence sources have stated that Beijing has a contingency plan in place for when Kim Jong-un's control over the country crumbles. The reports confirm that China is indeed quietly encouraging regime change and is grooming Kim's brother, Kim Jong-nam to take over his role. The reports suggest that after Kim Jong-nam is installed in Pyongyang, his brother will be permitted to go into exile, probably in China. China may be dreaming of appointing Kim Jong-nam as the new king. The atmosphere between the two nations is changing. China may have decided that it is time for a regime-change in the North, they will not permit the collapse of the country because they do not want chaos on their own borders.

By Arthur Bright o A daily summary of global reports on security issues. The Chinese embassy in North Korea is "working on" securing the release of the crew of a Chinese fishing boat held by unidentified armed North Koreans, who are reportedly seeking a ransom. The Associated Press reports that, according to the ship owner Yu Xuejun, the Liaoning -based boat was seized on May 5 by kidnappers demanding 600,000 yuan ($100,000) ransom for the 16 crew members' safe return. In another plea for help on Monday, Yu wrote on his blog that he received another call from "the North Korean side" on Sunday night, still demanding money. "My captain gave me the phone, his voice was trembling, could feel he was very afraid, told me no later than 5 p.m. today," Yu wrote. He said he suspected his crew had been mistreated. RECOMMENDED: How much do you know about China? Take our quiz. Mr. Yu said that the boat was seized in Chinese waters, although the kidnappers reportedly claimed it was in North Korean territory. RECOMMENDED: How much do you know about China? Take our quiz. Yu told Agence France-Presse that he believes the kidnappers are part of the North Korean military , though he is not certain. He reported the incident to the Chinese government, but took to social media to publicize his crew's predicament after becoming frustrated with a lack of official action. "It has almost been two weeks, but I haven't seen any results," he told AFP. Chinese state news agency Xinhua published its first report on the matter on Sunday, writing that the Chinese embassy in North Korea "is working on the detention" and is "asking Pyongyang to ensure the safety and legitimate rights and interests of the fishermen." The incident comes amid a tense situation on the Korean peninsula . North Korea in recent months has conducted several missile launches and nuclear tests, including six short-range rocket launches over the weekend and two more today . China , a traditional ally of North Korea, has been showing greater irritation with its neighbor, including supporting UN sanctions against Pyongyang over its most recent nuclear test. AP writes that kidnappings of Chinese nationals by North Korean pirates are actually fairly common - including a similar event last year in which 29 fishermen were seized by armed North Koreans and later released. "Whatever you call North Korea - rogue state or whatever - these kind of cases just keep happening," said a Liaoning Maritime and Fishery Administration official who identified himself only by his surname, Liu. "We had such cases last year and the year before. There's very little we can do to prevent them." The Global Times, a Chinese Communist Party newspaper, suggests that the current tension between Beijing and Pyongyang may result in a greater willingness for the Chinese to publicize the incidents - and that North Korea is deliberately targeting China . Cui Zhiying, director of the Korean Peninsula Research Center at the Shanghai -based Tongji University , told the Global Times that as the relations between China and North Korea are gradually changing from traditional ideological allies to normal bilateral relations, these kinds of reports are being disclosed more frequently than before. Jin Qiangyi, director of the Asian Studies Center at Yanbian University, told the Global Times Sunday that China has been inclined to deal with such disputes in a low-key manner, which has been taken advantage of by North Korea to infringe upon Chinese fishermen's interests. "It's also possible that the nuclear state is taking revenge on China after the UN imposed a series of sanctions on it following its third nuclear test," said Jin, stressing that the Chinese government should hold firm in safeguarding the safety of its citizens, otherwise, such incidents will reoccur in the future. http://news.yahoo.com/north-korean-pirates-seize-chinese-hostages-demand-ransom-123609892.html http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=aad_1369093394 Detroit Iron North Korean pirates seize Chinese hostages, demand a ransom North Korea, China Sun, 19 May 2013 06:25:36 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=827_1368958117 GeneralDisaster Fixed the morning in Pyongyang video with happy music, it's not so depressing to watch now. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=827_1368958117 GeneralDisaster Morning <span class="highlight">Pyongyang</span> - FIXED North Korea, pyongyang, kim, jung, ill, un, dmz, dprk, happy, fixed Sat, 18 May 2013 19:05:00 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=31f_1368917923 AngloFarkinSaxon Footage of Pyongyang streets in the morning, looks like a very depressing place to be. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=31f_1368917923 AngloFarkinSaxon Morning <span class="highlight">Pyongyang</span> North Korea,pyongyang,kim,jung,ill,un,dmz,dprk Sat, 18 May 2013 02:02:11 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=184_1368856469 Lake8737 with 15kg of Indian corns per household in order to prevent large scale of famine from happenning.

The meeting came as the North has shown signs of softening its war rhetoric after threatening nuclear attacks against the South and the US for weeks. Seoul and Washington will work jointly to encourage North Korea to make the right choice through multifaceted efforts, including the implementation of the "Korean Peninsula trust process. " Park and Obama also discussed a need to forge multinational approach to bring peace and stability in the region, such as through Park's proposal to establish the Northeast Asia initiative similar to the Helsinki process of Europe in the 1970s.

Park flew in from New York, where she held talks with South Korean-born U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and met with South Korean residents. Upon arrival in Washington, she headed directly to Arlington National Cemetery and paid her respects. The White House summit, set Today, is expected to focus on how to deal with North Korea. The meeting comes as Pyongyang has toned down war rhetoric and begun talking about the possibility of dialogue with Washington after weeks of nuclear strike threats and other menacing bombast against South Korea and the United States. But in inter-Korean relations, no signs of a breakthrough are in sight as Pyongyang has spurned Seoul's calls for talks about saving the suspended joint industrial complex in its border city of Kaesong from permanent closure. I hope that Park and Obama use the summit to try to forge a united front on the North.
