But unlike other fences around the world, it is to keep people in, not out. What is it and fences? Is there a world surplus of fencing material?
SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea has started building a fence along parts of its border with China in an apparent move to prevent people from fleeing the impoverished communist country, a news report said Sunday
The North has put posts on a six-mile stretch along a narrow tributary of the Yalu River, which marks the border between North Korea and China. It has also built a road to guard the area, Yonhap news agency reported. The North has yet to string barbed wire fencing between the posts, the report said.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry had no immediate comment on the report.
