Chinese Visa Restrictions Further Hurt North Korean Economy

DANDONG, CHINA - APRIL 14: (BEST QUALITY AVAILABLE) North Korean laborers wait in line at the Chinese border to return to their country on April 14, 2014 in Dandong, China. No reason has been given for the Chinese government's restrictions on working visas to North Koreans that started around February. The restrictions have cut off a crucial source of foreign currency to Pyongyang. Several tens of thousands of North Korean workers are said to be in northeastern China, and about half of their pay is taken by the North Korean government.
