Kim Ju Ae: North Korea leader Kim Jong Un chooses daughter as heir, Seoul says
www.bbc.com
South Korea's spy agency says Ki Ju Ae's prominent public presence indicates she is the chosen heir.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has selected his daughter as his heir, South Korea’s spy agency told lawmakers on Thursday.

Kim Ju Ae - who is believed to be 13 - has in recent months been pictured beside her father in high-profile events like a visit to Beijing in September, her first known trip abroad.

The National Intelligence Service (NIS) said it took a “range of circumstances” into account including her increasingly prominent public presence at official events" in making this assessment.

    You:

    For example, Saudi Arabia, a widely known example of a monarchy with absolutist power, has 80% of the population composed of immigrants without rights who get stripped of their passports and get treated as slaves.

    Also you:

    When 40%ish of the population is without basic human rights

    Wanna try again?

    Then you:

    There’s no public healthcare

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_Saudi_Arabia

    Health care in Saudi Arabia is a national health care system in which the government provides free universal healthcare coverage through a number of government agencies.

    Then you also:

    no infrastructure for poor people (trains, public schools, people-centered urbanism…), etc.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Saudi_Arabia

    Public education in Saudi Arabia—from primary education through college—is open to every Saudi citizen. Education is the second-largest sector of government spending in Saudi Arabia.[7] Saudi Arabia spends 8.8% of its gross domestic product on education, which is nearly double the global average of 4.6%.

      The 80% figure I mistook for the one of Qatar originally, which has a similar system but 88% of their population are immigrants without rights.

      Every service you pointed out leaves immigrants without access, 40% of Saudi population not having access to healthcare is exactly my point. Wikipedia explicitly says this healthcare is for citizens, and when 40% are non citizens, it’s a de-facto apartheid state with half the population being immensely exploited

      Why are you running defense for authoritarian monarchies in the Middle East?

        No you don’t, you’re just ignorant. Next you gonna tell me south korea is a dictator state and then whoops, you confused it with north korea.

        Every service you pointed out leaves immigrants without access, 40% of Saudi population not having access to healthcare is exactly my point.

        You first say poor people, now you change it to immigrant. How many time do you wanna move the goal post?

        Wikipedia explicitly says this healthcare is for citizens, and when 40% are non citizens, it’s a de-facto apartheid state with half the population being immensely exploited

        Wikipedia also stated:

        “Sponsors/employers are responsible for paying for an extensive package of services for private sector expatriates.”

        Why are you running defense for authoritarian monarchies in the Middle East?

        Is this supposed to be an attack on me or defence of your own ignorant? I see you spitting bs that can be easily debunked via a simple search, so i debunked it via a simple search. And why are you defending dictator state of north korea?
