BBC News - North Korean border guard 'shoots three Chinese dead'

China says a North Korean border guard shot and killed three people near the countries' border last week.

A fourth person was reportedly injured in the incident near the north-eastern border town of Dandong.

China has made a formal complaint to North Korea, a spokesman for the Chinese foreign ministry said.

The two countries are considered to be close allies and Beijing rarely makes any public criticism of its isolated neighbour.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang told a regular news conference in Beijing that the four residents of Dandong, in Liaoning province, had been shot "on suspicion of crossing the border for trade activities".

This will not end well. Thoughts USMB?

Engaging in cross border trade like this is a felony in both countries. This may just be an announcement by the authorities in China that they plan on cracking down.

Did North Korea go on a drunken bender recently? They really shouldn't tick anyone off.

Has Calderon tied it to the AZ immigration law yet?

Three chinese people dead, No that shouldn't piss anyone off.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

North Korea is just helping China with their overpopulation problem.

I heard he was planning a vist with Hu Jintao this weekend.

Probably arranged by both governments. Now China can "get tough" with N. Korea and be wonderfully appreciated by the U.S.

It's gotta be Bush's fault. Just gotta be.

Looks like a North Korea death wish

They are intentionally pissing off neighbors to the north and south when they are incapable of defeating either one militarily.

Maybe its a "Mouse that Roared" scenario

More like the cockroach that got stepped on.

You keep wishing they would toss the kims out like what happened in Romania.
