CHINA-NORTH KOREA: NEW MILITARY FACILITY

 Radio Free Asia (RFA) quoted sources as saying that since August 2016, China has been constructing a large-scale military facility in the Chinese city of Longjing, in Jilin Province facing the Sambong workers' zone in the North Korean county of Onsong. The source said "Heavy equipment and material are being brought in order for building to take place." North Korea is responding to the new measures by deploying about 20 soldiers to monitor the situation from the Sambong workers' zone. A Korean-Chinese source in Longjing described the government's measures as "unprecedented" in the area close to the border, adding that "The Chinese leadership seems to preparing for the collapse of the North Korean regime."
