The last thing China needs to be doing in this age of cooperation is to be fostering hatred and racism by...building a border fence and stepping up patrols to keep North Koreans out.
China has put up a massive concrete and barbed wire fence along parts of its border with North Korea to block a possible influx of refugees as strong international sanctions are enacted in response to Pyongyang's program to develop nuclear weapons.If you don't understand my blatant sarcasm in the first half of this post, please just go jump off a bridge. China has the right mentality in dealing with this issue. They don't give the slightest crap what anyone else thinks. They're going to protect themselves, so they did what's necessary. If only we could get off our P.C. high horse and learn a lesson here.
In addition, China's People's Liberation Army recently conducted military exercises and deployed additional troops near the North Korean border.
South Korean media reports quoted border residents who said the 20-kilometer-long fence was erected immediately after North Korea announced its nuclear test. China has also stepped up patrols and inspections along the border with the North, they said.
The border fence, 2.5-meter-high T-shaped concrete poles strung with barbed wire, was constructed along the river with lower banks and narrower width, indicating that it is designed to stop North Koreans from crossing into China.
"The aim of these facilities is to improve management and control conditions and ensure good order at the borders," China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said. The move is not in response to the North's nuclear test on Oct. 9, he said.
