Country Advice China China – CHN38353 – North Korea – Cross Border Visits – Tourist – Documents – Korean Heritage – Jilin – Hunchun – Yanji – Rajin 11 March 2011 1. Can you confirm whether it was possible in 2003 for a Chinese national of Korean heritage to travel into North Korea as a tourist, stay for four days in Rajin and surrounds, and return? What documents are needed? Several sources of information indicate that it is possible that, in 2003, a Chinese national of Korean heritage was able to travel into North Korea as a tourist, stay for four days, and return. Rajin is within driving distance (approximately 67km1) from Hunchun and it was a popular destination for Chinese tourists at the time. Several sources indicate that North Korea generally allowed Chinese tourists to enter into North Korea using only a Chinese identity document prior to 2004. Several sources also indicate that a sizeable Chinese community of Korean heritage (850,000 members) is located in this border area of China and North Korea, and cross-border travel and business has been conducted for years with some ease.2 Figure 1, below, shows the following locations in China: Yanji, Hunchun, and Yangbian; and Rajin located in North Korea. Rajin is located 50 km from the border with China reachable via an unpaved road.3 1 ‘Distance from Rajin and Hunchun’ 2000, Microsoft Encarta Interactive World Atlas 2000 – Attachment 1. 2 Mong, A. 2009, ‘A glimpse across the North Korean border’ World Blog NBC News MSNBC.com website, 4 June http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2009/06/04/4376423-a-glimpse-across-the-north-korean-border - Accessed 11 March 2011 – Attachment 2. 3 Rank, M. 2010, ‘North Korea: beyond the capital lies a different world’ The Guardian, 26 September http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/sep/26/north-korea-rason-beyond-capital/print - Accessed 11 March 2011 – Attachment 3.

Page 2 of 6 Figure 2 Rajin area of North Korea and the border areas of China 7 The city of Rajin is now more commonly referred to as Rason (the name changed in 2004), and prior to that it was known as Rajin-Sonborg. Rason is a contraction of Rajin-Sonorg. Rajin (or Rason) is located in the Kwanbuk region of North Korea and is part of the Raijin- Sonborg Economic Special Zone. This special economic zone designation was established in the early 1990s to promote economic development in the region due to a steady level of trade with China and the presence of a strategic port and harbour. While investment initially lagged, in recent years there have been renewed efforts by both North Koreans and Chinese investment companies to develop the area. 8 A 1996 New York Times article described the appearance of Rajin, stating that the city is located approximately 9 miles from Sonborg. Rajin’s streets at the time were largely unpaved, very few cars were observed and many residents live in duplicated six-story concrete apartments with balconies. The population is listed as in the tens of thousands9 7 Rajin area of North Korea and the border areas of China’ 2000, Microsoft Encarta Interactive World Atlas 2000 – Attachment 6. 8 Snyder, S. 2010, ‘Rajin-Sonbong: A Strategic Choice for China in Its Relations with Pyongyang’ The Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainable Development Northeast Asia Peace and Security Project, 25 April http://www.nautilus.org/publications/essays/napsnet/forum/2009-2010/10025Snyder.html - Accessed 11 March 2011 – Attachment 7. 9 Pollack, A. 1996, ‘The Real North Korea: The Bustle of a Mausoleum’, New York Times, 23 September http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B06E3DA103DF930A1575AC0A960958260&pagewanted=all - Accessed 11 March 2011 – Attachment 8. Page 3 of 6 The 2010 article by Scott Snyde, entitled Rajin-Sonbong: A Strategic Choice for China in Its Relations with Pyongyang reports on the history of Rajin, relations with China, and efforts to develop cross border trade in the area. The article reports that in 2008, North Korea was Jilin Province’s fourth largest trading partner with official volumes listed to be $770 million. This activity indicates substantial cross-border relations and activities making it likely that Chinese travelled to Rajin in significant numbers.10 The February 2010 article Chinese Businesses Pour into N.Korea's Rajin-Songbong refers to improved border transiting conditions in recent years and notes that Chinese citizens have been visiting the area since the 1990s. While the article does not refer to specific documentation requirements, it says many past controls have recently been eliminated, including long waiting times at borders and restrictions on activities for Chinese going to the Rajin area.11 A common border crossing point in these areas is the Quanhe-Wonjong border crossing. A 2005 article by the East Asia Forum on economic development in Rajin stated that negotiations were under way between Hunchun (China) local government officials and North Korean to upgrade the dirt road to Rajin. Subsequent reports state the road was still not paved by 2010.12 The article also stated that the North Koreans built a large customs facility at Wonjong to handle Chinese goods coming over the border going to port facilities in Rajin.13 Several reports indicate that the North Koreans are currently working to encourage Chinese and other foreign investment in Rajin to improve infrastructure and generate income.14 Several sources indicate that between 2000 and 2004 Chinese tourists travelled to Rajin to visit the Emperor Hotel and the attached Orakjang Casino, which opened in 2000. It was constructed by a Hong Kong property developer. The hotel and casino was a popular Chinese tourist destination until a North Korean official was found guilty of gambling with public funds and the casino was closed. 15 The Tumen River runs along border between China and North Korea in this area. Please see previous Figure 2 which shows the location of the Tumen River and the border. 16 10 Snyder, S. 2010, ‘Rajin-Sonbong: A Strategic Choice for China in Its Relations with Pyongyang’ The Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainable Development Northeast Asia Peace and Security Project, 25 April http://www.nautilus.org/publications/essays/napsnet/forum/2009-2010/10025Snyder.html - Accessed 11 March 2011 – Attachment 7. 11 ‘Chinese Businesses Pour into N.Korea's Rajin-Songbong’ 2011, The Chosunilbo, 26 February http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2011/02/26/2011022600387.html - Accessed 11 March 2011 – Attachment 9. 12 Snyder, S. 2010, ‘Rajin-Sonbong: A Strategic Choice for China in Its Relations with Pyongyang’ The Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainable Development Northeast Asia Peace and Security Project, 25 April http://www.nautilus.org/publications/essays/napsnet/forum/2009-2010/10025Snyder.html - Accessed 11 March 2011 – Attachment 7. 13 Snyder, S. 2010, ‘North Korea’s renewed push for foreign investment at Rajin-Sonbong’ East Asia Forum website http://www.eastasiaforum.org/2010/03/12/north-koreas-renewed-push-for-foreign-investment-at-rajin- sonbong/print/ - Accessed 11 March 2011 – Attachment 10. 14 See for example: Sung-ki, J. 2010, ‘China to Use N.

Page 4 of 6 There are several Chinese tourist companies offering travel arrangements for Chinese to visit North Korea. Documentation No source could be located specifically listing the required documentation for a Chinese to cross the border into China in the vicinity of Hunchun in 2003. However, two sources indicate that is likely that a Chinese tourist visiting Rajin for a short visit could enter using only a Chinese identity document, such as a Hukou and that a passport and visa were not required. According to a 2006 International Crisis Group report on North Korea and Chinese relations, the normal procedures for Chinese tourists intending to visit North Korea involved applying for a visa at North Korean embassies or consulates. These applications usually had to have an invitation from a North Korean entity attached. However the report states that there were exceptions for Chinese visiting the Rajin-Sonbong special economic zone; for short visits copies of Chinese identification cards were sufficient.

    2019 International Religious Freedom Report

    CHINA (INCLUDES TIBET, XINJIANG, HONG KONG, AND MACAU) 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary Reports on Hong Kong, Macau, Tibet, and Xinjiang are appended at the end of this report. The constitution, which cites the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and the guidance of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, states that citizens have freedom of religious belief but limits protections for religious practice to “normal religious activities” and does not define “normal.” Despite Chairman Xi Jinping’s decree that all members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) must be “unyielding Marxist atheists,” the government continued to exercise control over religion and restrict the activities and personal freedom of religious adherents that it perceived as threatening state or CCP interests, according to religious groups, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and international media reports. The government recognizes five official religions – Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism. Only religious groups belonging to the five state- sanctioned “patriotic religious associations” representing these religions are permitted to register with the government and officially permitted to hold worship services. There continued to be reports of deaths in custody and that the government tortured, physically abused, arrested, detained, sentenced to prison, subjected to forced indoctrination in CCP ideology, or harassed adherents of both registered and unregistered religious groups for activities related to their religious beliefs and practices. There were several reports of individuals committing suicide in detention, or, according to sources, as a result of being threatened and surveilled. In December Pastor Wang Yi was tried in secret and sentenced to nine years in prison by a court in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in connection to his peaceful advocacy for religious freedom.

In 2017, with support from the WildCats Conservation Alliance (WCCA), we continued our monitoring program by deploying 50 pairs of camera traps in Hunchun Nature Reserve (HNR) to cover approximately 450 km2 of key habitat for Amur tigers and leopards. The camera trap monitoring period covered about 25,000 trap nights and resulted in about 50,000 images and videos of wildlife and human activity, of which 700 images and videos were of 10 leopards and 13 tigers. Seven of these leopards and eight of these tigers were new to our camera traps. By combining data with partners collecting data across the entirety of the park, we identified 20 different leopard individuals (9 males, 5 females, and 6 of unknown sex), and 18 different tiger individuals (5 males, 5 females, and 8 of unknown sex) in HNR.

As the main carrier and manifestation of elements, mobility such as people and material, traffic flow is of great significance for understanding the characteristics of spatial connection. In this paper, Harbin-Changchun agglomeration proposed by China's New Urbanization Plan (2014-2020) is taken as a research object. With the data of intercity passenger traffic flow including highway and railway passenger trips between 73 county-level spatial units in the research area, a traffic flow model is constructed to measure the intensity of spatial connection.

China; e-mail: [email protected] & [email protected] Received 4 April 2002; accepted for publication 31 March 2003 ABSTRACT. The Pritumangan Basin in East Asia is very rich in commercial coals. It occupies parts of the territories of China, North Korea and Far East Russia. The sequence of sediments with coals in Khasan, the Russian part of the basin, ranges in age from Eocene (Nazimov Formation) to Miocene (Khasan Formation). The coal bearing strata of the basin in Onsong and Yusong of Korea are assigned to Eocene while in Saeboyl they are of Miocene age. The floral analysis of all the three parts of the basin suggests that the age of the coal-bearing Hunchun Formation at Hunchun in the Chinese part of the basin is most probably of Middle Eocene age. In this paper, also newly recovered specimens of Alnus shestakovae Ablaev are described. KEY WORDS: fossil leaves, Hunchun flora, Eocene, Pritumangan basin, China, North Korea, Far East Russia INTRODUCTION The Pritumangan Basin is the biggest coal- to the data provided by local geologists, the total thick- bearing continental deposit of East Asia. It ness of terrigenous-coal deposits of the Hunchun For- mation developed here is 600 m.

A decision of the General Chap- ter of 2000 brought about a ‘return’ of the Order to China in 2006 with the opening of the Yanbian Hospice in the city of Yanji. Yanji was chosen because it is an important city of China’s Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture and Korean Brothers and Co-workers would be able to benefit from the fact that the Korean language is widely spoken in that Prefecture. The Yanbian Prefecture is near the borders of Russia and North Korea. It has a population of 2.1 million (2,188,000), of which 38.1% (834,000) are Korean. Han Chinese form 59% of the population and the rest is com- prised of other minority races (2.9%). The majority races (Korean and Chinese) live a unique mixed lifestyle in terms of customs, tradition, housing, clothing and food. The Yanbian Hospice aims to provide a total care service for terminally ill cancer patients who are no longer responding to curative treatment. The hospice gives basic medi- cal care and pain control as well as psychological and (if possible) spiritual assistance. The hospice also tries to give comfort and support to family members affected by see- ing their loved ones in pain.
