About 70-80,000 Chinese tourists are visiting Rajin each year, a northeastern North Korean special economic zone that borders China and Russia, a trip report released on Thursday by the Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI) suggested.
The number – which is notably high for the region given growing sanctions against the North – was calculated based on anecdotal data gained from a trip the report author took to the region in July, 2017.
