True, though it appears he spoke about it with Putin earlier. The problem with China and SK turning NK into a source of cheap labor is the Kim dynasty. It’s legitimacy derives entirely from the long mishmash of Juche ideology. Take that away and there’s no reason for a Kim-family leadership. I can’t see that going away without some violence.

Unless they buy the Kim family off and let them rule as figureheads.
