The escapees, one man and two women, have yet to be found, he added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey seemed to have planned their escape beforehand,\u201d the source said. \u201cAs there are hardly any men at the clothing factory, the man could be a manager.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Little is known so far about the relationship between the three or their whereabouts. Why they disappeared remains unknown, said the source, given that they stole no money before they fled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of COVID-19, the trio would have a tough time fleeing to the cities of Shenyang, Jilin or Changchun, the source said, adding, &#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They might still be hiding in Dandong, watching the situation.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chinese authorities have been intensifying restrictions everywhere amid signs of a coronavirus resurgence, closing crowded facilities and suspending public transportation. In these circumstances, North Korean laborers would likely find it difficult to travel to other regions from Dandong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Korean officials, for their part, are focusing on tracking down the AWOL trio, while doing everything they can to stop other workers from escaping, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBecause of the incident, the North Korean leadership forbade everyone \u2014 including North Korean trade representatives \u2014 from leaving their residences,\u201d said the source. \u201cIt\u2019s impossible to go anywhere or act without reporting it up the line first.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the authorities are trying to prevent the incident from impacting the thinking of other laborers, an atmosphere of trouble is already descending upon workers, the source said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mood among the workers is even more unsettled because North Korea has been pushing a plan to rotate its workers after the Chinese Communist Party Congress (which was held on Oct. 16), he added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c[The unsettled mood] is due to the fact that many workers facing repatriation will face debts or other difficulties if they return to North Korea,\u201d the source said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, even though North Korean workers in China have seen their income fall over the last three years due to COVID-19, they still had to pay contributions to the Workers&#8217; Party. As a result, many of the workers have been unable to properly save money. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, workers\u2019 family members in North Korea often borrow money thanks to their connections with their relatives working overseas, meaning many workers in China fear returning home empty-handed and unable to pay off the debts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said it is unlikely that laborers to be repatriated soon will be sent overseas again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat&#8217;s why there&#8217;s many people thinking of running off while they are still in China,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Please direct any comments or questions about this article to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/20221018-7\/\"><i>Read in Korean<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three North Korean workers recently disappeared in the Chinese city of Dandong, leading the North Korean government to go on full alert to prevent the disappearances from influencing other workers to do the same.\u00a0 A source in China told Daily NK on Tuesday that the North Korean workers had been working at a clothing factory [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":127,"featured_media":40222,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wikipediapreview_detectlinks":true,"footnotes":""},"categories":[67,1539],"tags":[779,1138],"class_list":["post-53060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-north-koreans-in-china","tag-dandong","tag-overseas-workers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v28.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Three N.
