January 30, 2012 China Aids North Korea

In order to stabilize the succession of leadership from Kim Jong-il to Kim Jong-un, China is providing North Korea with 50 thousand tons of food and 25 thousand tons of crude oil. All shipments are to be finished prior to the celebration of Kim Il-Sung's commemorative birthday in April. With this level of aid, North Korea can tell its people that it truly is a Strong and Prosperous State-a prophesy made for 2012 by Kim Il-Sung.

According to the Daily NK, "China’s authorities decided on this support after considering North Korea’s fragile situation, while the new Kim Jong Eun system is still in the process of stable succession, and the necessity to create an atmosphere of loyalty among the North Korean people by improving food supplies by Kim Il Sung’s birthday."
