I must admit I'm a bit baffled. From my understanding, the Chinese-Korean relations were not exactly on their highest since the introduction of Kim Jong-un as the dear leader.

Also, this will prevent North Korea from stealing the train. I lt has happened before.

Considering their recent economic struggles, this makes sense. This should allow China to take even greater advantage of the reduced labor costs in DPRK, but also could potentially help the the logistics of troop movement and supply networks for the Chinese.

Considering the fact that the Chinese built a big bridge over tbe border and footed the entire bill only to see that bridge be connected to nothing on the other side, no, this does not make sense. China needs no help with "logistics" into North Korea because they're never going into North Korea. That's a fantasy propagated by ignorant fools. It'll simply never happen. In all likelihood, this rail idea is probably an effort to connect to South Korea, ot the North.

It will likely only have an impact on the Chinese city.
