近日来，一个小小的朝鲜再一次引发了全世界的关注，金正日又一次将世界舆论的聚光灯集中在了他自己身上，他还极少公开露面的儿子金正银还没有正式接班也已经也成了焦点。
本来，朝鲜国家权力的世袭早就是大多数人预料中的事，但就在几天前，一则可信度无可置疑的消息曾经有力地否定了这样的传闻，带给全世界这条消息的是世界政治舞台上的两个重量级人物，美国前总统吉米卡特和中国现任总理温家宝。前者刚刚访问了朝鲜并且带回了一名美国人，而后者也是刚刚在中国接待会见了来访的朝鲜最高领袖金正日。
下面的文章是摘自卡特中心给美国国务院关于访问朝鲜的报告和译文，这条引起广泛关注的消息就是来自这份报告。
Our next meeting was with Premier Wen Jiabao, a popular leader who has been making some highly publicized statements calling for "political reform," while extolling the former administrations of Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping and Party Secretary Hu Yaobang, who helped bring openness to society and government. The premier emphasized that two key elements in political reform were village elections and Open Government Information. He was quite interested in my visit to Pyongyang and confirmed that the positive messages I received there were the same that Kim Jong Il had brought to China. He surprised us by quoting the DPRK leader regarding the prospective promotion of his son, Kim Jong Un, as "a false rumor from the West." We'll just have to wait to learn the truth about the succession in power.
接下来我们会见的是因公开呼吁“政治改革”而广受欢迎的总理温家宝，他高度赞扬推动了中国社会和政府开放的前副总理邓小平的领导和党的前总书记胡耀邦。总理强调了政治改革中的两个重点是乡村选举和政府信息公开。他对我的朝鲜之行相当感兴趣，同时也证实了我得到的正面信息与金正日带给中国的口信是一致的。他（温家宝）令人惊奇地引用了这位朝鲜领导人的话——关于预测他的儿子金正银将得到提升的消息是“西方国家伪造的谣言”。我们只能等着看这场权力继承的真实进展。
言犹在耳，朝鲜在28日召开的党代表大会上便公开宣布了金正银接班体制的正式亮相，不知道卡特和温家宝此时看到这样的进展会做何感想？
