| China boosts border security |
| 2006-07-28 |
| July 28, 2006: China has sent three more battalions of infantry to the North Korean border, where problems with North Korean refugees, and aggressive North Korean border guards, continue. Over the last three years, China has added 30,000 troops to border security duty along the Yalu River, which separates the two countries. In that part of northern China, ethnic Koreans have long been a significant minority. But since the famines of the 1990s, over a million North Koreans are believed to have slipped across the border and sought refuge with the local Korean community. The Korean refugees work cheap, and many have moved on to other parts of China. An increasing number have made their way to South Korea. North Korean border guards have become less disciplined, and more active in robbing North Koreans and Chinese. |

| #9 Build a FENCE!!! Wouldn't they need to consult with the North Koreans before they could do this? You know, like the USA needs to do with Mexico? I mean, after all, they wouldn't want to insult Kimmie and their North Korean neighbors, right? Right? Hello? |
