China Sent Team Including Medical Experts to Advise on Kim Jong-Un

According to three people familiar with the matter, China has sent a team to North Korea comprising medical experts to advise North Korea leader Kim Jong-Un. The Chinese doctors and officials' trip comes despite the North Korean leader's contradictory health reports. It cannot be decided immediately what the Chinese team's trip meant about Kim's safety. On Thursday a delegation headed by a senior member of the Foreign Relations Department of the Chinese Communist Party left Beijing for North Korea, two of the people said. The department is the principal Chinese agency concerned with North Korea's neighbor. Given the seriousness of the matter the sources declined to be published. The liaison department could not be contacted for comment late on Friday. China's foreign ministry did not respond instantly to a late Friday request for information. Earlier this week, Daily NK, a Seoul-based website, announced that Kim Jong-Un was recovering from a cardiovascular procedure on April 12. It has cited an unspecified North Korean source. South Korean officials and a Chinese liaison officer questioned subsequent reports saying Kim Jong-Un was in serious danger after surgery. South Korean officials also said they had detected no signs of unusual North Korean activity. US President Donald Trump also underestimated earlier claims on Thursday that Kim was seriously ill. "I think the report was incorrect," Trump told reporters, but he refused to say whether he was in contact with North Korean officials. A South Korean source on Friday told that their information was that Kim was alive and would possibly make an appearance early. The individual said he had no response to the current state of Kim, or any involvement of the Chinese. An official with U.S. intelligence said Kim was considered to have health issues but they had no reason to believe that he was severely ill or was ultimately unable to reappear publicly. A spokeswoman for the U.S. state department had no statement. U.S. Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, when asked about Kim's safety on Fox News after Trump spoke, said, "I don't have anything I can share with you tonight, but the American people should know we're watching the situation very closely." North Korea is one of the most segregated and closed countries in the world, and its leaders' wellbeing is dealt with as a matter of national security. No information on Kim's location or condition were independently verified yet. State media in North Korea last posted on Kim Jong-Un's location when he presided over an April 11 meeting. State media did not say he was attending an event to mark his grandfather's birthday, Kim Il Sung, on April 15, an significant anniversary in North Korea. Kim, who is thought to be 36, has previously vanished from reporting in North Korean state media. He disappeared for more than a month in 2014 and later North Korean state TV showed him walking with a limp. His heavy smoking, apparent weight gain after he took control and family history of cardiovascular issues have fanned speculation about his health. When Kim Jong-Un's father, Kim Jong Il, suffered a stroke in 2008, South Korean media initially reported that Chinese doctors together with French doctors were participating in his care.
