AFP is reporting that two Chinese traders, suspected of espionage, were beaten to death in North Korea.
According to South Korea’s Yonhap new agency, which quoted unnamed sources in Beijing, the two traders from the northeastern province of Jilin were allegedly killed during a trip to the North’s border city of Manpo. “We have noted the report. We are seeking to confirm it,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang told reporters without further comment.
The report said North Korea was resisting China’s demand to turn over the bodies, angering Beijing which believed Pyongyang brought espionage charges against the two in an attempt to evade responsibility over the incident.
Citizens are expendable, but good puppets are hard to find. Funny, isn’t it, how word of incidents like these is getting out nowadays?
As I predicted, North Koreans are hoarding yuan and unloading the new North Korean won as fast as they can.
The ROK government tightens screening for North Korean refugees: I suppose it’s both regrettable and understandable, given the number of spies North Korea has infiltrated into the South this way.
