		<description><![CDATA[A recent report by Republican staff members in the U.S. Senate warns that China, because of its deepening economic ties with North Korea as well as its ancient claims on Korean land, could attempt to &#8220;manage, and conceivably block,&#8221; the eventual unification of the two Koreas, if ever the Kim family falls from power in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kim Jong Un is portrayed in North Korea&#8217;s official state media as a leader without comparison, blessed with a supreme bloodline, flanked by a supportive wife and endowed with the &#8220;brilliant&#8221; ability to revamp the economy, command an army and guide the space program.
