there will be questions over how much real control the younger Kim has, and whether the military elite accepts him.Zhu Feng, Professor of International Relations at Peking University, said it was clear the mechanism for transition was in place and working."The issue of primary concern now is not whether North Korea will maintain political stability, but what will be the nature of the new political leadership, and what policies will it pursue at home and abroad."In the short-term, there won't be new policies, only a stressing of policy stability and continuity. So soon after Kim Jong-il has died, no leader will dare say that an alternative policy course is needed," Zhu said.
