a bride reports on the china north korea border where many believe business might be about to pick up. this latest visit by a senior north korean official is seen as further evidence of north korea's sincerity in wanting to move away from its nuclear program and concentrate instead on economic development using as china the model to follow all though on a much smaller basis there's also speculation though that this visit could be part of north korea's attempts to look for relief from sanctions and much of the trade that keeps north korea going passes through here dandong going in particular across the friendship bridge with constant rail and truck traffic carrying trade both ways the china still has those sanctions in place but you do get the feeling that with the goodwill of recent months china maybe isn't imposing those sanctions as

strictly as it should and here in downtown you also see other evidence of economic activity resuming such as for example some of the north korean restaurants that were closed a few months ago have now reopened what you're also seeing here is a real property boom as people see dandong potential should sanctions be lifted with some apartments here doubling in price in just a few months that we've had these summits take place this is all of course been all of the developments on the chinese side of the yalu river that is the border between china and north korea on the north korean side we've seen nothing like this development but there is a suggestion that even that might be changing in recent days at the north korean leader kim jong un has been visiting sites that have been earmarked for economic development leading many to believe about the potential of this whole border area
