North Korean defectors looking to flee to China will now face harsher challenges due to a new border law. Beijing recently passed a new Land Borders Law amid long-standing territorial disputes and concerns over the spread of Covid.

Although the main focus of this law relates to territorial disputes with neighbouring countries such as India, it also contains specific language applicable to migrants, The Diplomat reports.

The new law states: “The state shall take measures to safeguard territorial integrity and land boundaries and guard against and combat any act that undermines territorial sovereignty and land boundaries.” This will likely embolden Chinese law enforcement officers to continue rejecting, detaining and forcibly repatriating.
