"Security expert says Kim Jong-il will go down with China's help," Yonhap News, by Lee Dong-min.

China is getting fed up with North Korea's counterfeiting activities, and Japan must suffer military casualties if it wants to become a serious member of the global community.

Also, Korea will be reunified within five years.
