Chinese-Korean Border Fence
- Chinese-Korean Border Fence
The Chinese-Korean Border Fence is a fence constructed on both sides of the 1,416-kilometre border shared between China and North Korea. This fence exists along the Yalu River and Tumen River.
China's Border Fence
China has put up a massive concrete and barbed wire fence along parts of its border with North Korea to block a possible influx of refugees. China's PLA recently conducted military exercises and deployed additional troops near the North Korean border. They have also stepped up patrols and inspections along the border.
The fence is constructed of 2.5-meter-high,T-shaped concrete poles strung with barbed wire and constructed along the Yalu river with lower banks and narrower width.

China had left their border lightly guarded but it has become a security concern as tens of thousands of North Korean refugees began trickling across the border. [ [http://www.edmontonsun.com/News/World/2007/08/27/4449708-sun.html www.edmontonsun.com "North Korea building fence on China border"] ]
North Korea's Border Fence
In August 2007, North Korea has started building a fence along parts of its border with China, in an apparent move to prevent North Koreans from fleeing the country. There are posts along a 10 kilometer stretch along a narrow tributary of the Yalu River, which marks the border between North Korea and China, and has also built a road to guard the area, however, they have yet to string barbed wire fencing between the posts.
