Jaewoo Shin Interviewed by Bloomberg: North Korean Bus Returns From China in a Sign of Border Opening

Jaewoo Shin reported to Bloomberg that recent satellite imagery indicates DPRK is reopening road-based passenger traffic through the Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge. Although there is increased activity in the DPRK customs area, no large cargo vehicles have been observed. This suggests that DPRK is gradually relaxing its border restrictions, signaling its intent to resume regular trade activities in the near future.
