KJI headed to PRC?

The LAT notes that there are signs that Kim Jong-il may be taking a
trip to Beijing, which brings speculation of some sort of break-
through announcement, such as a return to the sex-party talks.

It's a good article worth reading, but I could do without the
journalistic flourishes that try to paint a picture of a hermit Dear
Leader, things like "he rarely leaves the secure confines of
Pyongyang," when in fact he makes hundreds of little side trips out of
town, perfect for a brown parade to throw a coup. Now if John Glionna
had said KJI rarely leaves the DPRK, I'd have no beef.
