Impact Analysis of China's Three Northeast Provinces' Development on the Industry and Infrastructure of the China S ․ U ․ M ․ M ․ A ․ R ․ Y SUMMARY Impact Analysis of China's Three Northeast Provinces' Development on the Industry & Infrastructure of the China-North Korea Border Region. Kim, Won-Bae, Lee, Sung-Su, Cho, Myung-Chul, Hong, Ihk Pyo Jung, Seung-Ho and Park, Hyun Jung It is expected that China's three northeast provinces' economic development will have a huge impact on North Korea, in particular, border region facing China. By taking a closer examination on China's three northeast provinces' development strategy, development plans in concrete terms and their development effects, the study aims at analyzing the development possibility and economic impact on the industry and infrastructure of the China-North Korea border region related to China's three northeast provinces. Based on the above analysis, this study proposes pertinent policy directions for the Korean government so that the industrial development of the China-North Korea border region would have a positive impact on the integrated south-north Korean economy. This study also recommends that South Korea should try to turn the current bilateral cooperation between China and North Korea in the China-North Korea border region into a three-way cooperation among South Korea, North Korea and China. Chapter Ⅰdescribes the purpose, scope and the methodology of the study. China-North Korea border region is defined in two ways: a broad sense and a narrow sense. Chinese borderland is broadly set to include three northeast province (Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang province) and SUMMARY 197 it is narrowly set to cover just major border towns neighboring North Korea (Dandong, Jian, Changbai, Tumen, Hunchun). North korean borderland is also broadly defined to include provinces neighboring China (Pyunganbukdo, Jagangdo, Yanggangdo, Hamkyungbukdo) and it narrowly defined to include major border towns neighboring China (Sinuiju, Manpo, Ganggye, Hyesan, Najin, Sunbong, Chungjin). For the convenience of analysis, north korean borderland is divided into three parts: the western part covering Pyunganbukdo; the central part including Jagangdo and Yanggangdo; and the eastern part representing Hamkyungbukdo. Chapter Ⅱ examines the current conditions and characteristics of economic exchanges between North-Korea and China. The borderland's economic exchanges are analyzed by taking a look at the principal form of the border trade as well as cross-border investment. Based on the major characteristics of border trade and China's investment in the border region, this chapter draws implications of the North-Korea's and China's economic exchanges. The background and strategies of northeast China's development plan promoted by China's central government are presented in detail in Chapter III. Potential impacts on the entire the North Korean economy by the Chinese development strategies of the frontier districts are also contemplated. In chapter Ⅳ, economic cooperation between North Korea and China is discussed at two levels: one at the China's central government and the other at the local government level, both of which have general and specific plans for economic cooperation between the two countries. More specifically, the current trend in industrial cooperation and future prospects are discussed to gauge China's influence on North Korea's borderland's industry and infrastructure. In chapter Ⅴ, the impacts of China's three northest provinces' development on the three aspects (industrial structure, infrastructure and spatial structure) are examined on each border regions, i.e., the western 198 part(Pyunganbukdo), the central part(Yanggangdo, Jagangdo) and the eastern part(Hamkyungbukdo). The assessment of the impact on the spatial structure is carried out for the major cities of the border region including Sinuiju, which is the core of the light industry and trading with China, Manpo and Hyesan, which are centers of the defense industry and forestry respectively, and Chongjin and Na-Son, which are centers of the heavy industry and distribution. Based on the impact Analysis of China's three northeast provinces' development on the industry & infrastructure of the China-North Korea border regions, Chapter Ⅵ suggests policy directions and strategies that South Korea government needs to pursue for the benefit of the Korean peninsula. China-North Korea border region's industrial development is deemed to be significant. Inter-Korean cooperation is necessary to turn the impact of northeast China's development for the benefit of both the North Korean economy and the eventual unified economy in the Korean peninsula. South Korea will be sidelined if it does not construct channels to make influence on the development of China-North Korea border regions in a short period of time either by inter-Korean cooperation or three-way cooperation including China. This is because North Korea's dire economic conditions will push the China-North Korea border region to be developed for the benefit of China. Therefore, it is critical to shift the current development trend of the border region into a mode to secure economic benefits for North Korea and the Korean peninsula. Multilateral cooperation is an effective avenue to turn the current bilateral exchanges between China and North Korea. South Korea needs to lead the process of northeast Asian countries' cooperation (South Korea, North Korea, China and Russia) on the industry and infrastructure development of the China-North Korea border region. ■ Key words _ DPRK-China economic relations, border region development, development of China's three northeast provinces, infrastructure and industrial development SUMMARY 199.

  • Economic and Social Implications of China-DPRK Border Trade for China’S Northeast Region
    ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF CHINA -DPRK BORDER TRADE FOR CHINA ’S NORTHEAST LI DUNQIU EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper assesses the economic and social implications of China-DPRK border trade for China’s Northeast region. Main Argument A large portion of China’s trade with the DPRK is done through ports in China’s northeast region. This border trade has led to broader infrastructural links between the two nations, and is viewed as highly important to both China’s northeast and North Korea for the following reasons: • Border trade helps stimulate market demand and helps to revive the local economies in China’s northeast. • Border trade has played an important role in helping alleviate North Korea’s grain crisis and energy and raw materials shortages. • Border trade contributes to the security of the borderlands, especially owing to its role in easing North Korea’s commodity shortages. • Border trade has brought an unintended consequence of increasing the market awareness of North Korean border residents. This may facilitate the economic reform and opening-up of the DPRK. Policy Implications • Trade with Northeast China may help promote economic and structural reforms in North Korea, especially as North Koreans grow accustomed to practices associated with market economies. • North Korean trade may be of great benefit to China, and as North Korea’s economic recovery progresses Northeast China’s exports to the region will also expand. Introduction Economic cooperation between China and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) takes such forms as trade, aid and investment, among which trade is the most important one.

It is for that reason that the North has been extremely cautious in its ties with Beijing. .China is the DPRK’s lifeline and insurance policy, which for a nationalistic North Korea is something that necessarily sticks in the craw, but it is a fact of life.” (Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, 2012: 10) This can be considered a very frank expression of the U.S.

The birds of North Korea. Passeriformes. Acta zool. cracov. 45(1): 1-235. Abstract. The occurrence of all (i.e. 146) species of birds belonging to the order Passeriformes in North Korea is presented on the basis of literature, most of the existing collections and the author’s own unpublished observations. For each species the dates and sites of observations recorded to date with maps showing the localization of these sites are given. The species also have commentaries in which their status in North Korea is compared with their occurrence in the Far East The discussed species include, among others, those whose world populations are small, endangered or vanishing (i.e. Pitta nympha, Locustella pleskei, Bombycilla japonica, Terpsiphone atrocaudata, Emberiza jankowskii, Emberiza sulphurata, Emberiza yessoensis). The data presented indicate that the breeding ground boundaries of many species, including flycatchers (the Muscicapidae family), warblers (the genus Phylloscopus), thrushes (the Turdidae family), buntings (the genus Emberiza) and others extend across North Korea. The standard measurements (wing, tarsus, bill and tail lengths) for 125 species collected in the territory of North Korea are also given. Key words: birds, North Korea, endangered species.

  • A Re-Evaluation of the Pre-1948 Korean Breeding Avifauna: Correcting a 'Founder Effect' in Perceptions Forktail 24: 25-47 (P
    FORKTAIL 24 (2008): 25–47 A re-evaluation of the pre-1948 Korean breeding avifauna: correcting a ‘founder effect’ in perceptions J. W. DUCKWORTH and N. MOORES O. L. Austin published The birds of Korea, the first comprehensive review of the Korean peninsula’s avifauna, in 1948. Its findings have been accepted almost uncritically by subsequent workers, yet four major factors led Austin to underestimate the species richness of the Korean breeding avifauna by at least 30–50%: the country was still under-explored during the breeding season; Austin did not use several key written and specimen sources; he often rejected others’ statements of Korean breeding; and he took the attitude with most species that if it lacked evidence (acceptable to him) of breeding in Korea, it must be considered a non-breeding visitor. Data from around Austin’s review period show that 43 species he considered not to breed (of which for 27 he directly disparaged others’ statements of breeding) were summer residents, and most were proven breeders; many others have been found since. A more balanced treatment would have understood that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, left the status of these (and many other) species open, and called for further data. The result is that subsequent confirmation of breeding has led to the false impression that such species have colonised Korea since Austin’s time. His restricted fieldwork and poor collation of existing sources limited his authority to make assertive rejections. Austin was disproportionately disdainful of Japanese and Korean sources. Aside from his attitude-driven diminution of the perceived Korean breeding avifauna, Austin made multiple other classes of error.
