"Kim Jong-il actually died on Saturday morning. During the 48 hours until North Korean state TV's official announcement, what North Korea might have done remains a key to understanding the Hermit Kingdom's internal situation. Unfortunately, very few people know about it. It's only an educated guess that Pyongyang firstly broke the news to Beijing and the two have likely to come up with a strategy to "manage" the situation. By Monday afternoon, Beijing had made no official comment.
Yet the fact that Pyongyang decided to go on TV and publicly announce the most earth-shattering news (since Kim Il-sung's death in 1994) indicates that Pyongyang doesn't want any trouble. This signal should be carefully grasped by Seoul."
