Several Chinese soldiers have died in clashes with rogue North Korean soldiers who have crossed the border...

Interesting to note and contrast the recent experience in Lebanon with 3 Israeli soldiers, and what that triggered...

Nah, hungry North Korean enlisted conscripts have been taking their personal weapons off base, crossing into China and perpetrating armed robberies for years, notably of banks, then crossing back into North Korea. That was when I said North Korea doesn't have an army anymore.

18-24 months ago the Chinese moved about 75,000 more troops to the Yalu as "bank guards".

I wouldn't be surprised if several hundred thousand Chinese humanitarian aid volunteers and hospital orderlies succor the starving North Koreans this year.
