      I understand fluent Mandarin, its my official second language and mother tongue. The chinese citizens living at the borders really didn't feel tensions, they however do hope that there will be no war. But the constant appearance and involvement of US politicians and military with South Korea, with Japan presented threats to the North to develop, test and showcase power. If US politicians focus of making America great again and stop appearing, involving and plunging their heads into every territory on the map, and let these people in these locations live their lives, I wonder why the need for nuclear power, weapons etc...

I understand if they hate our government but i don't understand why they hate the people. In developed places you can't find any exotic foods. Those stuff are actually disgusting to most Chinese as well. Only the ones who grew up on those part eat those exotic foods.

The western media only reports badly about the CCP and their human rights thing and all that. The reason Chinese people love their government is because the CCP was the one that brought 70% of the Chinese population out of poverty but people only remembers the CCP killing Chinese people but that wasn't the whole CCP it was just Maozedong.

      Enjoyed your post. I also served in South Korea in the 70s with the US Army. Since then I’ve visited twice, once for business. Yes. The border is surreal especially that extremely deep “3rd Invasion Tunnel.” I’ve also visited the border area from Jilin, China alongside the famous Chang Bai Shan volcano.

I am also a westerner and traveled with local transports and i walked a lot, but i kept low profil… i could explore every bridge across the Tumen river. some of them were broken and surveyed by cctv chinese cameras, but all was quiet on the eastern front! I could almost walk into north korea, especially near Hunyung, the old mandchukuo railway bridge

      I think that was partly the main point. There is so much tension between NK, China and USA. I mean the entire video the guy kept emphasizing how the military and national police kept approaching them but every other Chinese person or car was left unbothered and how the views of the Chinese about the situation are so different from ours. Although it would be very interesting to get a real Chinese perspective, I feel like the whole point of this was to present this as if you went to see for yourself.

    I have cycled along this border many time, there are a lot of stories you from the locals living in the small villages along the tumen river. Like Koreans coming over stealing watermelons or motorbikes, there has even been some instances of elderly farmers murdered in their homes from robberies. I've heard stories that there was a time when the illegals were sent back to the border the Korea guards would string the defectors up with hooks through the muscle around the armpit, this supposedly stop after some protest from the Chinese soldiers. The majority of the towns that are on the northern border you can see people living a pretty normal life, kids with colourful inflatable rings swimming in the river with pet dogs, old men fishing, sometimes can see and hear the workers in the back of trucks heading home singing songs. The place this reporter goes to is a tourist place that Chinese go to gawk at the koreans.

The political commissar had to pacify the fighters and make a stern protest to the opposite side through the state. My friend also said that since then, the locals basically pretend not to see hungry people coming from the other side, as long as they don't commit murder and robbery or anything like that.

      @john Hurley There is no "perfect" view of China. China is as big as the entire Europe. The mindset and tradition are totally different between a Spanish and a Geogian. Similar in China.

      12 And if God saves a Catholic, a Protestant, an evangelical, a Branhamist or one member of those missions and ministries, God must remove hell and everyone will go to the Paradise, even Satan. [Ed: The congregation says, “Amen!”]. How can someone reject the living prophet of his time and go to the Paradise? How can someone be saved from the Flood while he has rejected Noah? When the Lord Jesus Christ was on earth, how could someone reject Him and be saved? The whole earth is in the abyss because of these churches. [Kc.2v11] [Kc.31v18] [Kc.91v6]

      If Mount Paektu erupts; government officials in China, Russia, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, and Mongolia will be in a state of extreme panic from the volcanic ash being blown over the regions, poison gases tainting the air even worse than the industrial pollution in China, and acid rain would flow into the Yellow Sea and the East Sea via the Yalu and Tumen rivers. Lava flows from the volcanic eruption would destroy the villages near Mount Paektu with the poison gases killing the employees and inmates of North Korean prison camps.

      Fico Lizalo1 North Korea strengthens its military power by making nuclear weapons. This is good for North Korea. But the Chinese on the other side don't care, of course they will oppose it. Other countries will also oppose it. Who cares about the military power of other countries? Like who really cares about the death of the people in the video? Even they don't let them record.Stupid ABC.

      I was impressed that Woodruff was actually speaking some Chinese. Not too many American reporters would take the time to learn the language, and just rely totally on interpreters. yes, he did have an interpreter, but I did see him speaking some degree of what is probably basic Chinese.

Something I'll never forget!! Grateful to be American, all I can say!! Even with how messed up we are, it's still home & I feel blessed each time I watch stuff like this about scary regime's in the world. 🇺🇸💗🙏🏻☺ Those suffering in North Korea, i hope to God change is coming that will bring them more promise for better life, happy in health, prosperity & peace, no hunger or tyrants.
