Already some earth movers, steel and other products are being shipped from Pusan in South Korea to Rajin, where they are then carried by rail or truck into northeastern China.

text: Dozens of European cyclists rolled into the North Korean port town of Rajin this week for the last leg of a rare two-stage race from China to North Korea.
Clad in skin-tight shiny outfits and accompanied by a fleet of support cars, the 47 cyclists from Sweden, Germany and more than 10 other countries rode from China to the Wonjong border crossing to take on the 50-km (31-mile) road into Rajin.[…]
Labourers from China, North Korea's closest ally, finished work on the main road between Rajin and the border last year in a Chinese-backed effort to upgrade a dusty track into a functioning trade route.
Rajin is one of two towns that make up the Rajin-Songbon, or Rason, special economic zone in the northeast corner of North Korea. Both Russia and China have access to Rajin as a port and have invested in updating infrastructure.

Such a pronouncement, however, is predicated on one crucial factor: the development of Rajin port. And Rajin port is in North Korea.
“We should have taken it while we had the chance,” said a local real estate developer, referring to the Korean War, when China came to North Korea’s rescue. He spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid annoying local Koreans.
While North Korea is promoting the area — Rajin and the neighboring city of Sonbong are together known as Rason — as a special economic zone, previous efforts at opening have not gone far.

text: Belorussian thus constitutes a unique phenomenon among the Slavic literary languages: here is a language in a perpetual state of diglosso-schizoglossia involving three related Slavic languages (and two simultaneously – Polish and Russian). The result ofthese conditions was that the first literary language in the Belorussian lands of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania shared the scene with a variant of Church Slavic saturated to varying degrees with belorussianisms, while the modern Belorussian literary language, based, to be sure, on native dialects with a varying number of isoglosses extending into Russian territory, with or without a flood of elements from Polish and/or Russian in its spoken and written forms, had to compete with Russian and Polish for written functions.
ref: 1992, Paul Wexler, ““Diglossia et schizoglossia perpetua – the fate of the Belorussian language””, in Sociolinguistica, volume 6, number 1, →DOI, page 46:
text: In fact, however, almost all neologisms originally came into the literary Soviet Yiddish from Russian rather than Ukrainian or Belorussian. Ukrainian and, especially even less developed (in terms of modern termonology) Belorussian, played a negligible role as donor languages. Thus the Yiddish verb derkenen zikh, a loan translation of the Belorussian spaznatstsa (to meet), is a rare example of modern Belorussianisms (listed in Plavnik and Rubinshtejn 1932 and in Rokhkind and Shkljar 1940).
