The North Korea in China - (Documentary 2019)
Hey Laowinners!
This documentary I made about the North Korean region of China is eye opening, and very interesting. The borders of North Korea don't just stop at China, they extend. In and around Jilin province, Dandong, the Tumen river, and the Yalu, North Koreans both deal with China on an economic basis, as well as culturally and linguistically. Through escaped refugees, to the entire Korean communities living their lives within the borders of a foreign country, the North Korea of China is a region that is seldom talked about, but we took it upon ourselves to explore and find some answers.

They’re still going to war zones, talking to North Koreans, and drug suppliers...
I was born in Tumen (도문/图们), which sits right on the borderline between China and North Korea in what you called “North Korea in China” haha. There isn’t much content on KZread that features my hometown so it feels nice to see videos like this! To be honest, the area of the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture feels like a mix of communistic China/North Korea mixed with 1970s South Korea politics..anyway enjoyed the documentary!

laowhy86 I was originally going to visit Yanbian in the winter of 2017 (haven’t been there since I moved to America in 2004), but with all the tension going on with North Korea I decided to stay put. I heard at the time China moved troops en mass to the Tumen border. There they used to have a small garrison stationed there but as of last winter, troop activity increased dramatically. As a Chinese Korean, I am proud to see North and South Korea hosting the peace talks summit just last month, as well as the North having talks with China with talks for denuclearization. It seems like much progress was made in the span of just a few months.

Back during the Koran war a certain U.S general wanted to stop the flood of Chinese reinforcements. He had a plan to drop nuclear bombs all the way across the North Korea China boarder cutting off reinforcements and trapping the rest in Korea.
My wife is from Jilin province (Helong/Yanji) she recognized many of the places you showed, but even she was fascinated by the pictures pictures of people across the river and on the "log boat."
The fact that you received a text message "warning" you about North Korean escapees is startling. Excellent documentary, thank you for sharing it.
I'm subscribed to a few documentary channels and just clicked on this one thinking it was from one of those channels, it took a little for me to realise that it was actually you and I got pleasantly surprised. the quality of your videos in terms of content, camerawork and editing is fantastic, and it seems like it's still improving to the point where it becomes harder to distinguish from the dedicated documentary makers with lots of experience and funding. Keep up the good work and until I can experience these things for myself, I'll vicariously live through your amazing videos. Lots of love!
This basically is the best content I've seen from you guys so far. Makes me want to buy the whole documentary. Keep it up!
I bought "Conquering Northern China" and can vouch for it being worth the money. It's filmed in 4k, it's crystal clear and overall production quality is top notch. The subject and content are five stars.
mate this is deep. certainly very happy to see you take your content to the next step.
This reminds me of a VICE video without the bias or the "the journalist ego" or the "melodramatic drama" just honest experiences professionally.
Fascinating sneak peak into your documentary, I really want to see this. Thank you for making this film but please be careful.
Reminded me why i loved your videos in the first place. Awesome job Bros !

The natural landscape in that part of China is very pretty. PS. I really like this format, I used to feel it was more "clickbaity" before, but now you guys are doing great. (IMO, obviously).
A really amazing documentary. I really appreciate all the work you put into it and all the risk you took in order to show the world a slightly different perspective to all that what is reported in the news worldwide.
Great video. I am sad for my people who are trapped between politics, war, and time. A tragedy for sure for more than 100 years. In the very end, we are all humans, with the same emotions, wants and desires. Good will triumph over evil, it just may take a little more time. Thank you for showing these amazing images.

Calling ethnic Korean born in China with Chinese citizenship "North Korean Chinese" is extremely offensive. tbh this is the first time I hear this. Like what??? Do people call them that?? They are known as "朝鮮族中國人" which literally translate to Korean Chinese. I thought this video was going to talk about the real North Korean worker that the NK government sent to China as cheap labor to help them get foreign currency. What a huge let down.
This is amazing, man. Great video.

1. Dandong belongs to Liaoning province. 2. That's not North Korea of China, it's called Korean autonomous prefecture. 3. 13:17, I don't believe that you can find a taxi diver in North East China who has an accent familiar with Taiwan mandarin.
