As speculation about the North Korean leader’s health abounds, Taiwan’s intelligence chief has revealed new information about Kim Jong Un.
The director of the National Security Office (NSB) in Taiwan, Qiu Kucheng, said that the North Korean leader is “sick” and that Pyongyang had contingency plans for a possible power struggle if he died, according to a report published by “Taiwan News “
Qiu also gave a vague description of Kim’s health when he was pressured at a government hearing about rumors of the latter’s possible death, according to the report, which said he laughed and declined to respond when asked if that it meant that the North Korean leader was already alive.
He told lawmakers: “My answer is from available intelligence and not an opinion,” according to the newspaper.
The report noted that Taiwan’s intelligence chief declined to explain, pointing to the need to protect North Korean intelligence sources, and assured lawmakers that the emergency plans in Pyongyang were ready for a possible power struggle in the region if Kim died.
The newspaper quoted Taiwan’s deputy intelligence director Hu Mu Yuan as later saying that his country’s intelligence “cannot obtain confirmation of Kim Yong Un’s health,” adding that “what we know is that Kim is still at I command and control the army and government of North Korea. ” “
