Shijian is followed by 15 million people in Weibo. Shijian is the niece of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. China knows only a little about what is going on in North Korea. Observers say a person like Shijian is unlikely to make the news without clear information.
China sent a medical team to North Korea few days ago to treat Kim. Therefore, China is aware of Kim's condition.
Saturday was the anniversary of the founding of the Korean People's Army in 1932. It is an important day for North Korea. Kim's absence during the anniversary ceremony was noted.
Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, died of a heart attack while on a train trip. The news was released two days later by North Korea.
