The long-delayed New Yalu River Bridge nears completion
Original: Nuclear tests, purges and a pandemic: The long road to the New Yalu River Bridge
Reports examine why the New Yalu River Bridge, meant to link China and North Korea across the Yalu River, took more than a decade to open after its construction was largely finished in 2014. Coverage attributes the repeated delays to North Korea's nuclear weapons tests, purges within its leadership, and the COVID-19 pandemic's border closures, which froze cross-border traffic between the two countries.
Why now: Signals suggest the bridge may finally be moving toward opening, reviving interest in the China-North Korea relationship.
