With the North Korean situation tense after Friday’s latest failed missile attempt, the South Korea’s Korea Times reports that a Chinese town near the border with North Korea is « urgently » recruiting Korean-Chinese interpreters, « stirring speculation that China is bracing for an emergency situation involving its nuclear-armed neighbor. »
The Korea Times cites The Oriental Daily, a Hong Kong-based news outlet, which reportedly published the story on Apr. 27, including a photo of a Chinese government document ordering the town of Dandong to recruit an unspecified number of Korean-Chinese interpreters to work at 10 departments in the town, including border security, public security, trade, customs and quarantine.
The document did not specify the reason behind the unusual, large-scale recruiting.
