Heir of the Korea N Kim Jong-UN in China

  Kim Jong-UN was ripped from the darkness to be part of a plan of succession without notice, the youngest son of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il is visiting China in what could be a further clue to the reclusive State succession plans.

Kim Jong-UN was reported by the media of South Korea for taking the train to China, main ally of the North.

It seems to be the younger Kim the first such trip since he received the key military and political positions last year.

Current leader Kim Jong-il is 69 and has had a stroke, which prompted fears for the stability of the nuclear State.

"Kim Jong-UN arrives in China early this morning via Tumen.". But we do not know where it is now, "South Korean News Agency Yonhap quoted a source in the Chinese northeast border town saying."

BBC Lucy Williamson, in Seoul, said knows exactly where Mr. Kim could be oriented: in Beijing for meetings key with the guards of the Korea of the North, or development in the border area projectsto submit as a future leader.

The young General appears to be travelling without his father, and that its destination in China does not appear to be Beijing, Yonhap quoted an anonymous government official saying.

Other reports say he may be accompanied by his uncle, Jang Song-taek, widely regarded as of Mr. Kim political guide and guardian on his path to power.

Special relationship

Process of succession of the Korea of the North has been opaque.

A rare session of the Parliament of the Korea of the North in April failed to mention the leader Kim Jong - il, or a son tipped to replace.

Analysts had thought that Kim Jong-un, which is supposed to be about 28, would be appointed to the National Defence Commission.

He was made a general four stars last September and has taken a leading role in the decision of the workers party.

China remains the most important supporter of the Korea of the North.

He used his right of veto at the United Nations Security Council to block condemnation of Pyongyang to attack torpedoes on a South Korean war ship in March 2010 that killed 46 sailors in the South.

More recently, China has blocked the publication of a report that accuses the Korea of the North of violating the UN sanctions by exchanging missile ballistic technology with the Iran.

China is also a key partner in the talks in six countries to eliminate the nuclear programmes of North Korea.
