Looks like the coward was hiding out

KCNA news agency reports that the North Korean leader cut the ribbon at the opening of a fertiliser factory.

It adds that people at the factory "broke into thunderous cheers of hurrah" when he appeared.

The reported appearance - his first since a state media event on 12 April - comes amid global speculation over his health.

Mr Kim was accompanied by several senior North Korean officials, including his sister Kim Yo Jong, KCNA added.

13. Trump sez huge opportunities in NK, an "economic powerhouse"

The reality:

... “Kim Jong-un’s authoritarian regime has been classified as the world’s most perilous investment destination for business,” Verisk Maplecroft said in a report published before the talks began.

Perhaps a short-fingered short-seller might make a buck.

10. I wasn't asking you

But the BBC is reporting something KCNA said. The BBC has no way of knowing whether the KCNA report is true.

Remember reading that they might have spotted his personal train at a luxury resort he likes to frequent. Probably his version of self quarantine, because COVID-19 isn't in North Korea.....or so they announced when China is just north of them...
