China-North Korea bridge opens after 12 years
The Jiejū Bridge has finally been opened, connecting China and North Korea after a delay of over 12 years, reflecting a deepening of relations between the two countries. The bridge is 3 kilometers long, consists of four lanes, and links the Chinese city of Dandong with the North Korean city of Sinui-go. It is expected to boost economic and trade exchanges between them. The bridge was initially scheduled to be operational in 2014, but the delay was due to North Korea's dissatisfaction with its growing economic dependence on China or disagreements over the location, which postponed its completion until now. The bridge is anticipated to improve logistical efficiency and ease pressure on the old bridge, through which more than 70% of the official trade between the two nations passes.
