2 North Korean soldiers at the Yalu River on the border between China and North Korea.
Recently, a Chinese man who was drunk and skating on the Yalu River accidentally entered the North Korean area and was shot and killed by North Korean border guards.
According to South Korean media outlet Chosun Ilbo, a drunken Chinese man, about 50 years old, was shot dead by North Korean soldiers on January 14 at around 6 p.m. after he walked from Ji’an City in Liaoning Province to skate on the Yalu River, believed to have crossed the border unknowingly.
Following the shooting incident, both North Korea and mainland China have stepped up their vigilance in the border area. After the incident, the North Korean side returned the Chinese man’s body to the Chinese Communist government.
North Korea was the first to close its border to prevent the introduction of the virus after an outbreak of the Chinese Communist Party virus in China early last year, and in August, it took the toughest measures in the world.
According to a North Korean source cited by Free Asia, North Korea ordered its military and police to shoot anyone who came within one kilometer of the border with China.
The source said, “The police in Huining City issued an emergency notice from the Ministry of Social Security saying they would kill anyone within one kilometer of the border between China and North Korea, regardless of their reasons.
North Korea has yet to report a confirmed case of the CCP virus, but in June last year, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un fired a number of senior health officials for failing to control the outbreak and declared a state of supreme emergency in the country in July.
