I have long believed that the true holder of power since Kim Jong-il’s death has been his sister, Kim Kyong-hui, and no one else. North Korean culture would suggest that women do not take positions of leadership, but it appears that she was the only family member whom Kim Jong-il could trust.
长期以来，我一直认为金正恩死后的真正掌权者没有其他人，只有他的妹妹金敬姬一人。朝鲜文化决定了女性不能占据领袖位置，但金敬姬似乎是金正日能够信任的唯一家人。金正日因病丧失行动能力时，是金敬姬招来了枪手。
