Kim is Korean for gold!
Sortof. The hanja used for his surname is the character for gold, but the actual word for gold is "geum."

China's involvement in North Korea makes perfect sense and I'd argue that China has a stronger influence than the US does (in this scenario). We must also consider the consequences of NK failing. The refugees will flee the country into China and China will be forced to react. For a country that operates so secluded, it's a delicate situation.I'm fairly sure China was involved, probably encouraging both North AND South Korea to at least try to reconcile. I'm even more sure, though, that sanctions on aluminum and steel imposed by the US were not the reason China was involved.

It hasn't been proven that the site collapsed, but Chinese geologists believe it has, and with the site 60 miles from the Chinese border China obviously isn;t too happy about this. There were a few more "credible" sources, BBC amongst them, but the Gizmodo story actually had a fair amount more analysis which I thought was interesting.
