Kim Jong-un death rumours have been circulating on social media, with Wanjun Xie, chairman of the China Democracy Party (CDP), claiming that the North Korean leader died after suffering a severe cerebral haemorrhage and that his sister, Kim Yo-jong, has taken control of the regime instead of his daughter, Kim Ju-ae. In a social media post, Xie also alleged that 9,000 Chinese troops had been sent to Pyongyang amid fears of a possible succession crisis and claimed that North Korea had intensified its military posture towards South Korea. These allegations remain unverified, and there is no official confirmation in the information provided that Kim Jong-un has died, that Kim Yo-jong has assumed power or that Chinese troops have been deployed to North Korea.
