..that I missunderstood your demand to give up my plan for a nuclear test." This, possibly, yesterday said the "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-il to his Chinese visitor in Pyeongyang.

The "Dear Leader" looks not happy

anymore, not really!!^^

"Kim Jong-il has apologized to China and reassured his powerful neighbour that he has no plans to conduct further nuclear tests," according to reports today that suggest the DPRK leader is backing down in the face of unprecedented pressure from a historic ally.

Many news agencies now are expecting a return of NK to the "six-party talks" soon.

Ha, just wait, watch and see!! (Until now nobody really knows what Kim was saying..) (*)

PS:

Only few hours after the Chinese delegation left PY the NK leadership ordered 100,000 people on Pyeongyang's Kim Il-sung-Square to celebrate the "great victory over the US-Imperialsm", i.e. the successful nuclear test.(**)

So what's now? Sorry or happy? Or sorry AND happy? ..???

Meanwhile, according to the German Spiegel online(it quoted AP), the former SK president Kim Dae-jung warned the int'l community about a possible military attack by the DPRK in the process of the UNSC sanktions against NK. 

* Washington Post wrote later: '"There wasn't anything particularly surprising" about Kim's message, Rice said, suggesting the reports that Kim promised a halt in testing were also inaccurate.'
