#1 Also have been [mostly] unconfirmed reports of Norkie border guards allegedly firing on their Chicom border comrades + convoys; + also rampaging = looting around in NK-China border areas.

#2 China should have zero trouble closing their border with NK and killing anyone who tries to cross. They must not want to.

#3 Actually the border between China and North Korea is quite long, and passes through some mountanous areas with populations that have made their living from smuggling for generations. Also the Chinese have not, until lately, done much to fence/fortify that border. That is changing, however.

#4 The last I heard, the Military Power of the People's Republic of China should be more than a match for the border with North Korea, and for any populations along it dedicated to smuggling. The PRC is exceptionally good at non-nuclear population control, don't know why they don't do what they're good at.
