(CNN) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Il is visiting China, the South Korean JoongAng Daily reported Thursday, citing a South Korean government official.

"[North Korea's] National Defense Commission chairman Kim was detected to be visiting China on his private train," said the official.

The official said Seoul did not understand the purpose of the visit nor did the government know whom Kim planned to contact.

(CNN) -- Was he ill? Was he asking for Chinese aid? Or was it a straight-up diplomatic snub?

North Korean leader Kim Jong Il reportedly left on an unexpected trip to China, leaving behind former President Jimmy Carter and a dizzying trail of speculation over his timing.

Let's hope that China is giving Kim Jong Il what we used to call in the military as a "come to jesus" talk. Kim is one guy that needs to get his feces collimated.

The last thing China wants is a war. They are making too much money to risk it. This is why I am in favour of trading with everyone. There is nothing like a profit to ease cultural differences.

Economics make strange bedfellows $$$$$$$

^^ This. China does one thing only: What is good for China. Screwing us over in trade is a whole lot more profitable than shooting at us, so don't look for Chinese armies on the Korean Penninsula anytime soon.

Besides, to entertain the doomsday scenario, if China were to fight a war with the US it would almost certainly be over Taiwan, not Korea.
