Changchun, China -- According to inside sources, North Korea has decided to increase the size of the 10th Army Corps, which is stationed in Yangkang Province. Intended to expand the size of the force in the North Korea-China border region by 10,000, this is the first decision of its kind since the dispatching of the 9th Army Corps to North Hamkyung Province in 1995 to settle the 6th Army Corps coup detat conspiracy.
An inside Yangkang Province source told Daily NK on the 11th, The National Defense Commission recently issued a decree increasing Yangkang Province Regional Headquarters (10th Army Corps) troop numbers by 10,000. 3,000 are due to be added before winter exercises, which are supposed to start in December, and 7,000 more are to be added as part of recruitment which will begin in March of next year.

The source said, The rumor doing the rounds is that they are increasing the size of the army unit in Yangkang Province in response to a missile base the Chinese have constructed at Antu near Mt. Baekdu and their posting of mechanized forces near Changbai, hinting that the expansion of the Army Corps members is partly out of concern for China.

Some speculate that this is more likely to be a move to beef up the defense of Chia Head's command bunker at Samjiyon. Chia Head indeed built extensive underground command bunker on the NK side of a mountain straddling the Sino-China border(Mt. Baekdu.)

This may be lame, however considering the state of transport in NK, the fact that the country is in famine conditions, and the fact that most of the food is imported from China could this just be an example of the Sam Kinision theory of sending the people to where the food is?

........this just be an example of the Sam Kinision theory of sending the people to where the food is? Another example of faked animosity between these two countries. The CHICOM feed and arm the NK Armed forces. Keep the round-eyed devils guessing.

hinting that the expansion of the Army Corps members is partly out of concern for China. That's rich. NK worrying about China is like Quebec worrying about Canada. If it wasn't for Chinese support, there wouldn't *be* a North Korea.
This is something else. Something to do with Uncle Kimakaze losing what little brain tissue he previously possessed, and somebody getting ready to embalm his glorious pot-bellied dwarf body.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Well, isn't the border with China where most NK refugees head for ?
Perhaps they fear a sudden rush for the border ?

North Korea is an army with a country attached to it.

Well... every troop North Korea puts on the border with China is a troop that can’t be on the border with South Korea.
I say North Korea needs to move 1.2 million of it’s troops to the Chinese border.
