Rumours of the death of Kim Jong-Un in late April sparked many questions as to how the US would react if this information was verified. North Korea has since insisted their leader is alive and well despite continuous speculation regarding the dictator's absence from the public eye. Asia politics expert and author Gordon Chang warned the US may have its hand forced into invading North Korea if civil unrest followed in the country after the death of its leader.<\/p>\n
Mr Chang argued if nuclear weapons became divided among warring factions in North Korea following the death of Kim, the US may be forced to intervene.<\/p>\n
He added this could cause a major conflict as China is allied with and supports the North Korean regime.<\/p>\n

\"That is the one thing that would get us to try to secure those nukes.\"<\/p>\n
