Communism, thanks to the lure of successful market economies and the example set by people like Havel, has put the system under such external strain that Kim III has nowhere to turn for effective help. Indeed, even the two regimes most eager to maintain the Kim dynasty – China’s and Russia’s – are feeling pressure from their disaffected but, it now seems, not-so-powerless populations.
不管怎样，金正恩的统治不可能像其父和其祖父那样持续或造成如此的群众疯狂了。在成功市场经济的诱惑和哈维尔等人所树立的榜样面前，共产主义体制已陷入了重重外患，金三世将无处寻找有效的援手。事实上，就连最愿意维持金家王朝的两大体制——中国体制和俄罗斯体制——也在日益感受到其心存不满且表现得并不那么无权的民众的压力。
