"After the presentations, Bush asked Zhong to comment on how he thought the execution of Jang in North Korea would affect the security competition among the countries in the region. Zhong speculated that after the removal of the once-powerful uncle of North Korea's leader, "North Korea is likely to be more uncertain" in addressing the nuclear issue. "It remains to be seen," he said, "if this will create more difficulties [for the] international community to persuade DPRK leaders to abandon a nuclear weapons program."
Bush asked Hwang how the episode might affect the trust-building process between Seoul and Beijing. Hwang observed that Jang may have been executed for a variety of reasons, and he "may be a scapegoat to take responsibility for North Korea's economic difficulties." However, he said, "there must be some other reasons we just don't know. ... There must be something KIM Kyong-hui must have agreed with KIM Jong-un" [KIM Kyong-hui is KIM Jong-il's younger sister, the wife of the executed official, and therefore the current leader's aunt].
"How can we understand in North Korea such brutal behavior?" Hwang asked.
He explained an interesting phenomenon that occurs when transposing Chinese characters in the North Korean slogan:
I would like to start with my understanding of the character of
North Korea first. North Korea's slogan "Kang Song Dae Guk" is
"Strong, Prosperous, Big Country." However when you change
Song and Dae, two characters with the same pronunciation with
different Chinese characters, it takes a different meaning.
It means "Fake Country with a Strong Personality.""
