近日來，一個小小的朝鮮再一次引發了全世界的關注，金正日又一次將世界輿論的聚光燈集中在了他自己身上，他還極少公開露麵的兒子金正銀還沒有正式接班也已經也成了焦點。
本來，朝鮮國家權力的世襲早就是大多數人預料中的事，但就在幾天前，一則可信度無可置疑的消息曾經有力地否定了這樣的傳聞，帶給全世界這條消息的是世界政治舞台上的兩個重量級人物，美國前總統吉米卡特和中國現任總理溫家寶。前者剛剛訪問了朝鮮並且帶回了一名美國人，而後者也是剛剛在中國接待會見了來訪的朝鮮最高領袖金正日。
下麵的文章是摘自卡特中心給美國國務院關於訪問朝鮮的報告和譯文，這條引起廣泛關注的消息就是來自這份報告。
Our next meeting was with Premier Wen Jiabao, a popular leader who has been making some highly publicized statements calling for "political reform," while extolling the former administrations of Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping and Party Secretary Hu Yaobang, who helped bring openness to society and government. The premier emphasized that two key elements in political reform were village elections and Open Government Information. He was quite interested in my visit to Pyongyang and confirmed that the positive messages I received there were the same that Kim Jong Il had brought to China. He surprised us by quoting the DPRK leader regarding the prospective promotion of his son, Kim Jong Un, as "a false rumor from the West." We'll just have to wait to learn the truth about the succession in power.
接下來我們會見的是因公開呼籲“政治改革”而廣受歡迎的總理溫家寶，他高度讚揚推動了中國社會和政府開放的前副總理鄧小平的領導和黨的前總書記胡耀邦。總理強調了政治改革中的兩個重點是鄉村選舉和政府信息公開。他對我的朝鮮之行相當感興趣，同時也證實了我得到的正麵信息與金正日帶給中國的口信是一致的。他（溫家寶）令人驚奇地引用了這位朝鮮領導人的話——關於預測他的兒子金正銀將得到提升的消息是“西方國家偽造的謠言”。我們隻能等著看這場權力繼承的真實進展。
言猶在耳，朝鮮在28日召開的黨代表大會上便公開宣布了金正銀接班體製的正式亮相，不知道卡特和溫家寶此時看到這樣的進展會做何感想？
