Whose Hostile Policy? According to one former North Korean intel agent, the regime kidnapped another 40 people from China between 1999 and 2001– most or all of them defectors–and dragged them back across the Tumen to the Workers’ Paradise. A few were Japanese nationals.

UPDATE: The Chosun Ilbo accuses China of turning a blind eye to the North Korean kidnappers’ activities on their soil. As reprehensible as the Chinese are for intentionally repatriating thousands of North Koreans to the gulags in their homeland, or for imprisoning those who assist the refugees, it’s not entirely clear to me–at least from this article–that the local Chinese authorities are wise to what the North Koreans are up to here.
