Chinese Army Kills Suspected N.Korean Defector
2015-06-14
Chinese soldiers on Thursday shot and killed a man trying to cross from North Korea into China when he resisted arrest, the official Xinhua news agency reported.

"Around 3:55 a.m. Thursday, a person suspected of illegally crossing the border was shot dead while resisting arrest by Chinese border guards in the area near Nanping Town in Helong, Jilin Province" Xinhua quoted a Helong city statement as saying.

It did not say whether the man was a soldier or a civilian.

Chinese border guards have drastically stepped up vigilance after several North Korean Army deserters murdered Chinese civilians.
Life is deteriorating in North Korea; army guards desert frequently now.

#1  But don't call China communist! They only shoot escapees from North Korea for the bounty! See? Pure profit motive!
