You know they have a relatively open border with China right? They just don't let people leave into the southern almost dictatorship(their military is still subordinate to US pacific command)

Also if you had the US conducting the largest military exercise simulating an invasion on your border every year you'd want nuclear warheads too. Especially if they've previously killed 20 percent of Koreans total.

Except they don’t? Any North Koreans who cross the border to China get deported back to NK and punished with hard labor or death

South Korean media outlets estimate that there are around 100,000 North Korean workers in China, and between 3,000 and 4,000 in Russia, even though U.N. sanctions mandate that all North Korean workers were supposed to have been repatriated by the end of 2019.

Sources told RFA that the first groups of people selected for repatriation include people accused of crimes, the sick and infirm, and employees who have fallen out of grace with their companies.

Btw the order to not have them outside of the DPRK comes from sanctions because of their nuclear program, not because the DPRK is forcing them back.

The Dandong Public Security Bureau assisted with the repatriation by lining up on the streets around the buses to prevent the North Koreans from fleeing and they also forbade onlookers from taking any pictures, the resident said.

Because this would definitely happen with regular workers…
