Orașul chinez care contribuie la susținerea regimului izolat din Coreea de Nord: 2,3 miliarde de dolari în exporturi și zeci de mii de muncitori, în ciuda sancțiunilor internaționale

Dandong, a Chinese city on the North Korean border, plays a crucial role in North Korea's economy, facilitating most official trade between the two nations. Despite international sanctions, tens of thousands of North Korean workers remain in China. The recent opening of a new four-lane bridge enhances trade potential, reflecting a strengthening relationship between China and North Korea. Observers note that this development follows a thaw in relations after a summit between Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un. While China aims to regain influence over North Korea, the latter has been strengthening ties with Russia as well. Dandong also attracts tourists interested in North Korea, highlighting the stark contrast between the two regions.
