Seoul Asks Beijing Not to Send Defectors Back to N.Korea
Unification Minister Yu Woo-ik on Tuesday urged China not to send North Korean defectors back to North Korea because of the treatment they face there when they are repatriated. Yu was meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi in Beijing.

Yu also asked for China's cooperation "so that defectors can reach South Korea as soon as possible at their own free will."

Yang merely replied China will handle the issue of North Korean defectors "in accordance with domestic law, international law, and humanitarian principles."
Diplo-speak for 'buzz off'...
China was recently reported to have cracked down on a growing influx of North Korean defectors, arresting about 20 defectors in Shenyang in September and allegedly being poised to repatriate 23 others, including three children, who were arrested in Qingdao, Zhengzhou, Dandong, and Kunming recently.
