Two Chinese Border Guards Shot Dead by N. Korean Soldiers in Hunchun on Jul. 16
On Jul. 20, we are told by a source in (Sino-N. Korean) border area that two Chinese border guards were shot dead on Jul. 16 by N. Korean soldiers near the border between N. Korea and China's Hunchun.
It is not clear yet why the shooting happened. After the killing of the two on Jul. 16, Chinese customs are imposing tougher inspection. It is disrupting the flow of grains, such as rice, and everyday necessities into N. Korea. The price (of goods) in the (N. Korea's) border region is rising.

P!
bump
Maybe they thought they were Americans.
OOP’s this cannot be on purpose, NK is not actualy challenging china?
I don’t get it - what’s the Norks beef with China? I thought the Chicoms were the norks sugar daddies?
1st they torpedo a SK ship, now kill CHINESE.
I wonder what the little dictator will do next. He might nuke china if he gets scared enough....HUMMMMMMMMM
Could have been an isolated incident, a “rogue” North Korean soldier. More likely Beloved Leader was trying to send a message, but his method of delivery is ill chosen (no pun intended) and his message muddled. The Chinese must rue the day they got involved with this madman. If they had any sense, they’d try to turn South Korea into their satellite by holding out an olive branch and let the North dissovle into chaos and famine, to be taken over by the South.
The world will never know the true state of relations between DPRK and China. Both are extremely secretive and conduct their diplomacy behind closed doors. There are no Daniel Ellsbergs, no Joseph Wilsons or Valerie Plames, no “whistleblowers” to embarrass the regimes, because such people are simply shot.
Scuffles along the border are not uncommon. Lately, China is tightening the screws on cross-border smuggling of all kinds. Border guards and soldiers on N. Korean side are usually accomplices to this operation. When they are caught by Chinese while smuggling, N. Koreans won't go quietly. Shootings can occur. Lately, this kind of episodes are getting more frequent.
What they do to S. Korea and America, they also do to China on a lesser scale. However, it seems to be getting worse.
good ping.
First I heard of this.
Wow, Norks.....almost ASKING for it!
I think the North Koreans would love to test their nukes on American facilities in Japan, or Guam or even try to hit Alaska or the west coast. I don't think they want to nuke South Korea though because the Dear Leader thinks South Korea and all of its people and property belong to him. The Norks plan to loot the South of everything.
Tiger I heard that on June 26th or so there was a DeMilZone clash of some sort during fence integrity patrol that left at least 1 US K.I.A —had you heard this?
I don’t know about SK dead or wounded —I heard all US personnel involved are being ordered to shut-up about it big-time...?
My thought has been that the military pretty much has run the show since Kim Il-Sung’s passing, and that Chia is mainly a figurehead.
Keep poking the bear.
Chia Head=now my name for NK dictator.
Maybe that has something to do with both Gates and Hitlery showing up with top military brasses(USFK, Pacific Command, and somebody from JCS, if I remember correctly) in Seoul.
Test their nukes? I am not convinced they even have any workable nuclear warheads. Its an elaborate hoax to
elicit bribes and goodies from foolish Westerners.
