China’s Foreign Ministry said on October 14 that a new bridge linking China and North Korea across the Yalu River would officially open to traffic on October 15, with a joint inauguration ceremony planned. Beijing said the bridge would facilitate bilateral trade and people-to-people exchanges but did not provide estimates for increased trade or tourism. At the same press briefing, China responded to Japan’s reported protest over a visit by a delegation from Heilongjiang province to Russia’s Sakhalin region, invoking the need to safeguard the outcomes of the Second World War. Beijing also criticised Taiwan’s reported plan to invest up to $4.4 billion in a US pipeline project in Alaska, reiterating its opposition to moves it characterises as promoting Taiwan independence. The developments highlight diplomatic tensions and economic connectivity issues involving China, North Korea, Japan, Russia, Taiwan and the United States.
