china soldier killed by n korea kpa

AsiaPundit doesn’t expect to see much - if anything - in the Chinese press about this.:

NorksoldiersIt has been belatedly learned (thanks to KBS) that five North Koreans armed with rifles crossed the Tumen River into China’s Yonbyon region in the early morning hours of Oct. 16 and attempted to burglarize a mountainside resort villa.   The manager of the resort quietly notified the authorities, who responded by sending six of the PLA’s finest to the scene.  As the Chinese soldiers approached the resort, the North Koreans opened fire, killing a 19-year-old soldier by the name of Li Ryang.

According to witnesses, the North Koreans were wearing KPA uniforms, and are believed to have been soldiers.

After taking return fire from the Chinese, the North Koreans fled, and the resort manager and three tourists were rescued.

The last time someone in the Chinese military was killed in an incident involving foreigners there was quite a backlash

    Jesus, I dread to think what happened to the North Korean soldiers, who were probably just starving kids. Mind you, Chinese soldiers are not exactly man-mountains either.
