Dandong: China's border city with North Korea
Subscribe to our YouTube channel here:
Dandong is a city on China’s border with North Korea. It has been the main route for China and North Korea to conduct trade and a barometer of Sino-North Korean relations. However, trade has been suspended due to the implementation of UN sanctions against Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile programmes. Some of the businesses have gone underground.

Since North Korea accelerated its controversial nuclear weapons programme, China has officially distanced itself from its neighbour. But life on the border between the two countries continues just as before. The Chinese city of Dandong, home to one million people, attracts thousands of tourists who hope to get a rare glimpse into the mysterious dictatorship across the water. Our correspondents report.

STORYLINE:
North Koreans living in the Chinese border city of Dandong gathered to celebrate their Korean identity on Thursday.
About 100 people gathered to watch performances of traditional Korean song and dance at a North Korea Culture and Art Exhibition.
The event came as North Korea was poised to send a rocket into space and the nation's young leader ascended to new top political posts strengthening his hold on power.
There was no word on Thursday morning on the timing of the controversial rocket launch, which the North has said will take place sometime between Thursday and Monday.
In 2009, a similar launch from an east coast site took place on the second day of a five-day window.
The launch, which the North says is for peaceful purposes, has raised international concern - and raised tensions in the region.
The North's new Tongchang-ri rocket launch site is about 35 miles (55 kilometres) from Dandong.
One resident said the cultural gatherings for North Koreans are common in the city, which is one of the main centres for China-Korean relations and trade.
Another resident said the intended rocket launch was symbolic for North Korea's new leader, and intended to show the world that he was trying to improve people's lives.
This thing symbolises the economic and scientific improvement in North Korea, he said.
Since Kim Jong Un became the secretary of the Korean Workers Party, he is determined to create development and to improve the North Korean people's lives, he added.

North Korea's special train leaves Beijing, arrives in border city of Dandong
北 특별열차 베이징 출발... 6시 단둥 도착
Our top story this morning...
Multiple media outlets are reporting that a special train believed to be carrying a high-ranking North Korean official left the Chinese capital on Tuesday,... to return to Pyongyang.
For more,... we connect to our Kim Hyo-sun.
Hyo-sun, fill us in with the latest.
Hi, Semin.
The specially-built green train,... similar to the one former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il used when he visited China back in 2011,... departed Beijing and is heading back to Pyongyang.
It's believed the train is currently passing the China-North Korea border city of Dandong en route to Pyongyang,... as heavy security was witnessed in parts of the city late Tuesday.
While some reports say it was North Korean leader Kim Jong-un who used the train to visit Beijing ahead of his scheduled summits with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and U.S. President Donald Trump,... nothing has been verified as of now.
Sources in Beijing say the train,... believed to be carrying a senior North Korean delegation,... was spotted at Dandong on Sunday and arrived at Beijing Station on Monday afternoon.
The Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reports Kim Jong-un was on the train that left Beijing,... and that he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping for approximately three hours.
Japan's Sankei Shimbun also reported that it was indeed the North Korean leader,... quoting an unnamed Chinese Communist party official,... while Bloomberg also reported that Kim was in Beijing.
Also,... given the fact there was ultra-tight security in the Chinese capital,.. while a North Korean Embassy vehicle was spotted in front of the Great Hall of the People,... media outlets say it's highly likely Kim Jong-un was there rather than other senior officials,... including his younger sister Kim Yo-jong.
Amid such speculation, however,... both Pyongyang and Beijing are staying tightlipped about the visit.
China's Foreign Ministry is refusing to comment,... adding that if it has anything to announce,... it will happen at an appropriate time.
Meanwhile, U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis has told reporters at the Pentagon that it looks like Kim Jong-un went to Beijing,... but he didn't elaborate on why he assumed that.
According to Reuters,... a senior U.S. official who follows North Korea closely said the available evidence suggests Kim went to meet Xi,... but stressed that the U.S. doesn't know for sure.
Back to you, Se-min.
