> A four-lane road bridge linking China and North Korea opened on Thursday, 12 years behind schedule. It is expected to substantially boost cross-border trade. China is North Korea’s largest trading partner and a key diplomatic and political backer, though relations with the ruling Kim dynasty have not always been smooth.
