North Korean leader Kim Jong-il crossed the border into China with his private train and arrived the city of Dandong early on Monday. Kim arrived in Dalian and stayed at a hotel of Dalian. South Korean government said it could not confirm the reports, but that there had been rumours of visit to China for several weeks. He is not believed to leave North Korea since 2006 after a visit to China. China, as North Korea's main trading partner, has the most influence on the communist state. The special train Kim Jong-il took and the stations he will arrive are being guarded by 200 Chinese police officers. Currently, analysts suggest that Kim could be seeking economic aid from China in the wake of a disastrous currency reform from last year. Also, China could urge North Korea to return six-party talks on ending its nuclear ambitions. Still, it is unknown whether he will head to Beijing or not. Personally, I don't think it is that much of a concern when a country's leader visits the other. It is true that North Korea is threatening, but I don't think Kim Jong-il is planning for a greater threat. I think the reason for a visit to China was to seek economic help from China, since China is the most welcoming country towards North Korea. Many countries are suffering an economic problem, and I do not think Kim would seek for another nuclear threat to other countries. I don't think people should worry about a threat from North Korea. As people say, North Korea might cancel its nuclear ambition. In conclusion, I do think this visit would not cause any trouble in the future.
