DailyNK is reporting that North Korea, under the suggestion of Kim Jong-Un, has begun to allow its citizens to visit families in China. The move is heavily being hammed up the propaganda machine to bolster support for the heir apparent. Visits to South Korean families, or the import/export of South Korean goods via China are strictly forbidden, and Chinese authorities are contacted to confirmed that the North Korean tourist has family in the country. It seems the process for applying to visit China has also been made more efficient; previous attempts would take 3 to 6 months and required bribery to keep the wheels greased – the new process allegedly takes only 15-20 days.
