North Korean leader Kim Jong-un would have died. This was reported by the Italian agency Nova, according to a Chinese journalist, Qing Feng, deputy director of the Hong Kong satellite broadcaster "Hkstv" and grandson of the former Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing, at the helm of Beijing diplomacy between 2003 and 2007 under the chairmanship of Hu Jintao. In a post on the Chinese social platform Weibo, the reporter claims to have "very solid" sources according to which the Pyongyang authorities are taking time before making the official announcement of Kim's death, in power since 2011. Qing Feng remembers how this is not new: in 1994 North Korea waited 34 hours before reporting the death of the then leader Kim Il-sung, in 2011 it took 51 hours before the announcement of the death of his successor Kim Jong-il . Kim Jong-un's health speculations have been chasing each other for days, while the official North Korean media are silent. Today in the international press rumors rebounded about the sending of a team of Chinese doctors to Pyongyang and the Japanese magazine "Shukan Gendai" hypothesized a "vegetative state" for the North Korean leader.
