China will deploy civilian militias to help secure its roughly 300 mile border with North Korea, the state owned China Defence News said on Wednesday.
The move, which observers see being linked to the recent killing of four Chinese citizens by a North Korean army deserter, saw a civilian-military defense system established Wednesday in the Yanbian prefecture of Jilin, Reuters coverage of the development said.
