With tensions building up between North Korea and the United States, Kim Jong-un’s every move is being closely watched. The North Korean regime leader recently visited northern parts of the country near the Chinese border, leading South Korean media to speculate that Kim had built secret passageways to China.
On Dec. 3, Kim inspected the Amnokgang Tire Factory in Chagang Province, which borders China, according to North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency (KNCA). During the visit, Kim thanked the factory workers for providing tires that were used for transportation vehicles that carried the Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile.
