WI:Jang Song Thaek's North Korea

What if Jang Song Thaek killed Kim Jong-un in mid 2012,and fostering Kim Jong-nam as a puppet leader of North Korea,what happens?
 
Better Human Rights record in DPRK.

Very doubtful. Maybe a little less in the way of the high-level purging.

The *only* way the DPRK can keep itself together is through really brutal oppression. If that abates even slightly, the whole thing collapses like East Germany.

What would China think of someone not named Kim running NK???

Well since North Korea already has nukes by this point, not much of a difference.
true. The fact the regime is hereditary and the fact this guy is running it (by puppet) instead would probably set a precedent for something. What if he just decided to run it himself???
