I hate it too. But here's the chinese logic: 1. They don't recognize North Koreans as "refugees" or asylum due to their relationship with NK even when the defectors reach SK embassy or consulate they aren't safe. China still deports them to NK. 2. China wants to prevent a scenario where their borders will be flooded with North Koreans fleeing, thats why they facilitate the Kim regime. Although, the defectors are legally citizens of South Korean the Chinese purposely send them back to NK as a deterrent. This is why defectors who leave via China need to reach other Countries that are safe for defectors to claim asylum and whom they know will deport them to south korea. Which are Thailand and Mongolia as they have agreements with South Korea over thid. As they have agreement with South korra that they send them to Sk rather than the NK.
@@wawawoo-24This is the official statement. In fact, the Chinese government's policy towards North Koreans who illegally enter China has gradually changed. People from North Korea went to South Korea to get money, robbed and killed people in China, and used AK47s to engage in gun battles with Chinese troops. Finally, the Chinese government could no longer tolerate it. All illegal immigrants from North Korea were arrested and sent back to North Korea.
Please remember that China does not retain military bases and soldiers on the Korean Peninsula. Think about it, who has military bases and soldiers there?
@@kuan-k4mit is because the Chinese interfered during the war and the Kim family refused Chinese military to remain in the peninsula to maintain closer ties to Soviet Union. so study more you CCP dog.

most of chinese cannot be trusted instead of helping human in need they will abused you. You pray hard to God when your in a situation no one to rely on but yourself. Let God be your companion for every fears you have.
AJ’s story tried to raise sympathy for the North Korean defectors so they pictured all of their lives in China as being abused, sexually trafficked etc. fact is, there are 50 million living in China as the video says, there’s a reason for that…. Also, of course they ultimately prefer to go to South Korea, because they are the same people, and they’ll have legal status and some money to settle down. But you can not blame a country( and the people in the country) for not taking refugees, I.e, most countries are not taking refugees from Syria, from Palestine etc. plus the famine happened in the 1990s, so I’m not sure now, in 2024, whether there’s still large amount of people leaving North Korea as legitimate refugee, like the super poor Chinese or Vietnam people from rural areas can’t just go to another country without a visa and expect citizen treatment? Where I am in Australia we have super strict border rules too. Of course, having read many stories of defectors they have experienced horrendous hunger and I wish countries around the world had helped with food for humanitarian aids back then. And wish them all a better life now
The main point is that North Korean citizens are struggling. Most of the population still suffer from food insecurity & they have no right to move around freely or to have their own opinions. Many of them are sent to work or concentration camps where they are used as free labor and worked to their deaths. Some cross the river to China and are sold as wives or are forced to work in some form of prostitution. Men are most likely sent back to NK when discovered by Chinese Police knowing what gruesome fate awaits them.
One of the women earlier on said she was treated fairly kindly in China. So people's stories are going to be different. But yes, they want to get out of China because China will typically deport them back, where they are sent to prison camps or executed. That in itself is a crime against humanity. Even if other countries aren't accepting refugees, they don't turn them back over to the government who may execute them. That is a UN crime and China does it
Why is the Western world promoted as free, civilized, democratic, and wealthy, while China, North Korea, and Syria are labeled as autocratic, dictatorial, and poor? You should know that the Western world has provoked 90% of wars and sanctions. Every year, tens of thousands of people die due to lack of assistance due to wars and sanctions. Who is deliberately creating the information cocoon?
I don't think they expect good treatment in the first place, since they always had a bad one. Doesn't matter if there are 50 million or 5 million, bad guys along the NK border know how they can speculate and get money from selling defectors (or snitch to police) and it's hardly possible to avoid those Also, the amount of NK refugees has been dropping tremendously in recent years, so the amount is not large at all
@@trkantiteza Let me tell you why in the China-North Korea border area, Chinese people report people who sneak into China from North Korea. You know, the border between China and North Korea is just a river 50 meters wide and 2 meters deep. It is easy to cross the border in autumn and winter. About ten or twenty years ago, North Korea suffered natural disasters and food shortages. People from North Korea sneaked into China to try to find food. At first, they could get rice, corn and other food from the Chinese by selling labor or begging, and then bring them back to North Korea to share with their families. As the food shortage became serious, more and more people knew this method. Going to China to find food was their only chance to survive. From rice, cooking oil, chickens, pigs, and cows, they wanted to get everything. From begging and selling labor to get food, they finally started threatening, violently robbing, and killing, until a horrific massacre occurred. Many soldiers of the North Korean border guards carried AK-47 rifles into the villages on the Chinese border to rob and kill Chinese people, steal money and food, and engage in gun battles with Chinese troops. The Chinese government protested to North Korea and began to block the border. And tell the Chinese in the border areas not to take in people from North Korea, and report them in time to avoid being harmed. So, from now on, the Chinese will no longer treat people from North Korea with kindness. Because you don't know whether your kindness will be exchanged for kindness or death. Also, after North Korean soldiers massacred dozens of Chinese, the North Korean government apologized, but was only willing to compensate according to North Korean standards, about $500 per person.
😅You'd better pay more attention to the refugees escaped from mexico to the US through the border rather than those North Korean defectors, which is none of your business
So in life you must focus on your goals and be ready for what comes next. Or else you’ll stay stuck at your situation in which you are fighting to get out..
15:03 I don't think the South Korean pastor really had connections with a random railway police in China, It's more likely that the railway police had sympathy for this North Korean and closed one eye. For the question about how the Chinese government treats North Korean defectors who live in China. What I know is as follows: 1. If a North Korean living in China commit crimes, he/she will be deported back to North Korea. 2. If a North Korean living in China tries to get to South Korea, he/she will be deported back to North Korea. 3. If a North Korean living in China does not commit crimes, and does not try to get to South Korea, he/she will be allowed to live in China and will NOT be deported to North Korea. This is how China balances itself between maintaining its relationship with the North Korean government and taking humanitarian factors into consideration.
The pastor is truly doing an immense service in helping so many people at such high risk and cost.
This is some "Handmaids Tale" shocking experience ....... May all who help these people escape safely, be rewarded
