text: The Chinese border town of Fangchuan, the easternmost point of China’s land border along the Tumen River, is only 2 km from the North Korean border train station at Doo-Man River Lee (an equivalent of a township). The rail and land crossings connect Hunchun conveniently with the three North Korean ports of Rajin (90 km away), Sonbong, and Chongjin. Finally, with the town of Fangchuan only 15 km away from the Sea of Japan, Hunchun marks the closest shipping point from northeastern China to the west coast of Japan, with a distance of 800 km from Niigata (see Liu and Liao, 1993).

text: A late-afternoon bus ride through the Yanbian countryside as sunlight glitters on fields of rice and warms the upturned roofs of Korean huts, is one of the most exquisite experiences available in the Northeast during July. The best excuse to take such a ride is Fangchuan, a tiny town at the end of a needle-thin strip of Chinese territory between North Korea and Russia, and China's preeminent border-viewing spot. A view from the tower here (¥20) provides vistas of Russia, North Korea and, on a clear day, the northern edge of Japan.

Fortunately, other Mozambican theorizations of the problem of the blackmarket tend to be more balanced and nuanced than this.
