North Korean Workers Engage in Boat Painting on Yalu River Approximately 100,000 North Korean workers are currently engaged in painting boats along the Yalu River, according to reports. The activity was highlighted in a news story initially broadcast by Fox News and subsequently reported by the Ukrainian news agency, Unian. The arrangement involves North Korean citizens working in Russia, generating an estimated $500 million annually. This economic activity is facilitated through a labor exchange program between the two countries. Workers are permitted to earn wages, however, concerns have been raised regarding the conditions under which they operate. Sources indicate that the working environment bears similarities to those found in former forced labor camps within North Korea. All earnings are ultimately controlled and managed by the North Korean authorities, representing a significant revenue stream for the regime. This ongoing project underscores the complex economic relationship between North and South Korea, and the continued involvement of North Korean labor in international markets. Further investigation into the specific conditions and oversight of these workers is ongoing. The North Korean news agency has not yet commented on this particular activity.
