BBC News - North Korean border guard 'shoots three Chinese dead '

China says a North Korean border guard shot and killed three people on the Chinese side of the border last week.

A fourth person was injured in the incident in the northeastern border town of Dandong, China said.

China has made a formal complaint to North Korea, a spokesman for the Chinese foreign ministry said.

The two countries are normally close allies. It is unusual for China to make any public criticism of its neighbour.

According to the report, they were trying to smuggle goods into North Korea.

Otherwise why else would you want to enter when their people are trying to leave.

Beijing in rare protest to Pyongyang over fatal shooting across border

BEIJING: North Korea has shot and killed three people across the border in China, earning a rare protest from Beijing.

The incident highlights the limits of China's concerted efforts to earn the trust of the North Korean leader, Kim Jung-il, and shelter his regime from international sanctions.

''On the morning of June 4, some residents of Dandong, in Liaoning province, were shot by a DPRK border guard on suspicion of crossing the border for trade activities, leaving three dead and one injured,'' Qin Gang, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said. ''China attaches great importance to that and has immediately raised a solemn representation with the DPRK. Now the case is under investigation.''

The incident, which has not been reported in the Chinese press, is likely to add to domestic pressure within China to show less tolerance for its difficult long-time ally.

A fortnight ago activists requested but were denied permission to protest against Chinese assistance for North Korea, overseas Chinese reports said. And Chinese bloggers have recently expressed overwhelming distaste for the Pyongyang regime and opposition to Beijing's support of it, diplomats who have been monitoring websites say.

North Korea has been accused of torpedoing a South Korean warship in March, killing 46 people.

Last year it tested its second nuclear weapon. Some analysts speculate that North Korea's increasing bellicosity is linked to efforts by Mr Kim - who has appeared in ill health - to prepare the succession of his 28-year-old son, Jong-un. This week Mr Kim promoted his brother-in-law, Chang Sung-taek, to vice-chairman of the National Defence Commission, in a move that analysts said would allow Mr Chang to chaperone the son.

The Chinese Government has become the main source of aid, trade and investment in North Korea.

In May Mr Kim visited China and received the rare honour of being met by all nine members of the elite Standing Committee.

And China has remained largely silent over the sinking of the South Korean warship, despite international investigators blaming a North Korean torpedo.

However, China has received little obvious benefit in return.

Zhu Feng, professor of international relations at Peking University, told the Herald recently that ''the time will be coming for Beijing to run out of patience''.

''The broadly shared impression in Beijing is that China's policy to the North Korean peninsula has been very badly hijacked by Dear Leader,'' he said.
