＜N.Korea Video＞ Visiting the North Korea-China Border Lockdown (2) North Korean Residents Completely Caged In
The Yalu River, which runs along the North Korea-China border, was once a vital water source for North Koreans. People regularly came to its banks to do laundry, bathe, and enjoy the water.
But as social upheaval swept through the country in the 1990s, the river became a primary route for defections and smuggling, prompting both governments to tighten border controls. Around 2012, China began erecting wire fencing along its bank — and North Korea soon followed suit.
Today, barbed wire covers most of the 1,400-kilometer border between the two countries. (ASIAPRESS)
