class=\"MsoNormal\">It has been confirmed that Choe Ryong Hae, former head of<br \/>\nthe General Political Department of the Chosun People\u2019s Army, has been moved to a secretarial position within the Chosun Workers\u2019 Party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">During a May 2<sup>nd<\/sup> report on Kim Jong Eun\u2019s visit to the newly remodeled Songdowon<br \/>\nInternational Children\u2019s Camp near the city of Wonsan, Chosun Central News<br \/>\nAgency announced, \u201cSecretary of the<br \/>\nCentral Committee of the Chosun Workers\u2019 Party Choe Ryong Hae made a<br \/>\nspeech at the ceremony.\u201d<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Choe\u2019s ranking on the published list of attending officials also<br \/>\nreinforced the point that he has been demoted. He was listed fourth on the list<br \/>\nbehind Party heavyweights Kim Ki Nam and Choe Thae Bok, as well as Hwang Pyong<br \/>\nSo, who was listed first. Hwang, a close affiliate of Kim Jong Eun, is now performing<br \/>\nChoe\u2019s former role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Such listings have long been used as proxies for the<br \/>\ncomparison of relative power within the ruling hierarchies of socialist states<br \/>\nover time. However, they are also an imprecise measure in circumstances such as<br \/>\nthe familial state structure of North Korea. Kim Jong Eun\u2019s sister Kim Yo Jong<br \/>\nappeared ninth on the list of attendees at Songdowon, but her power is likely<br \/>\nto exceed that of others due to her family links within the ruling elite.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Choe\u2019s demotion means that all four of the core personnel<br \/>\ntasked with building the Kim Jong Eun succession system have now been removed<br \/>\nfrom gatekeeper roles. Among the other three, former Chief-of-Staff Ri Yong Ho<br \/>\nwas dismissed from all his positions in mid-2012, Jang Song Taek was executed<br \/>\nat the end of 2013, and Kim Jong Eun\u2019s aunt Kim Kyong Hui has not been publicly<br \/>\nactive since autumn 2013.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cDirector of the<br \/>\nGeneral Political Department of the KPA is the position of overall management<br \/>\nand control of the People\u2019s Army; being pushed out of that position breaks Choe<br \/>\nRyong Hae\u2019s authority,\u201d one Seoul-based North Korea expert told Daily NK<br \/>\non condition of anonymity. He added that making Choe a Party secretary is<br \/>\ntantamount to \u201cgiving him a high position but no authority.\u201d Former leader Kim<br \/>\nJong Il took similar steps on a regular basis to ensure that no alternative<br \/>\npower bases were able to form beyond his immediate control.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">However, Sejong Institute researcher Cheong Seong Chang gave<br \/>\nan alternative analysis, pointing out, \u201cChoe Ryong Hae is in worsening health,<br \/>\nwhich means that he could no longer actively pursue the leading role in the<br \/>\nGeneral Political Department. Rather than making him retire following his<br \/>\ndismissal, he has been appointed to a Party position dealing with labor<br \/>\norganizations, where the burden of the work is smaller.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cKim Jong Eun positioned Choe very close by his side, to<br \/>\nshow that he still has unwavering trust in him,\u201d Cheong added. In North Korean television<br \/>\nfootage from the Songdowon events, Choe appears alongside Kim Jong Eun almost<br \/>\ncontinuously, dressed in a dark business suit with the mandatory pin badge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Meanwhile, it has not been confirmed whether Choe has also<br \/>\nbeen removed from the Standing Committee of the Party Politburo, National<br \/>\nDefense Commission and Party Central Military Committee, although this is believed<br \/>\nto be likely.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been confirmed that Choe Ryong Hae, former head of the General Political Department of the Chosun People\u2019s Army, has been moved to a secretarial position within the Chosun Workers\u2019 Party.
