     From: 2013, Korean Central News Agency, “Traitor Jang Song Thaek Executed”

     Tā zhāorèn, dāngshí tā de zhè yī bùjīngyì de xíngdòng, shì yīnwèi shēngpà rúguǒ Jīn Zhèng'ēn tóngzhì de lǐngjūn jīchǔ hé tǐxì yīdàn gǒnggù qǐlái, jiāng gěi tā cuànduó dǎng hé guójiā de quánlì zàochéng jùdà zhàng'ài. [Pinyin]

     Jang confessed that he behaved so at that time as a knee-jerk reaction as he thought that if Kim Jong Un's base and system for leading the army were consolidated, this would lay a stumbling block in his way of grabbing the power of the party and state.
