Low-ranking members of the border patrol are finding life more difficult than their superiors, the source added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never heard of low-ranking soldiers crossing over into China from Sinuiju or Sakju because they\u2019re hungry,\u201d said the source. \u201cThe Chinese authorities believe, however, that the soldiers crossed into Chinese territory for that reason. The droughts last year and this year are the reason for the lack of food.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The arrested soldiers were returned to North Korea after an investigation. There have been no reports on whether they faced punishment in North Korea.<\/p>\n<p>Another Daily NK source said that the North Korean authorities are spreading \u201cfalse rumors\u201d about what actually happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a rumor that the soldiers killed a Chinese person to steal their money,\u201d said the source, who is based in North Pyongan Province. \u201cThe rumor says that Chinese people are buying \u2018valuable\u2019 things from North Korea at rock-bottom prices and that the soldiers shot a Chinese person in revenge for this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that the North Korean authorities may have spread the rumor because they were concerned that if it was learned that the soldiers committed the crime out of hunger, it would affect morale in the military.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Two soldiers from North Korea\u2019s border patrol were arrested for stealing food from a house in China earlier this month. \u201cTwo border guards in the Chongsu Workers&#8217; District in Sakju County (North Pyongan Province) stole food from a house in Dandong, Liaoning Province,\u201d said a Daily NK source in China. \u201cSeveral locals alerted to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":127,"featured_media":41465,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67,645,649],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-economy","category-china-north-korea-border"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v28.6) -
