This dismal state has led a large number of North Koreans. perhaps as many as 300.000. to cross into China. There they seek food. and theyre looking for work. and hopefully from their standpoint. theyre looking for resettlement in South Korea. It is thought that nearly 75 percent of these refugees are women. and according to the NGOs that study this problem. 90 percent of those women end up trafficked. In northeast China. North Korean refugees live in constant fear of being rounded up by Chinese authorities. and this despite the international obligations that China is supposed to keep. China forcibly repatriates these refugees. and for many of them. its effectively a death sentence. Some are shot on the spot. Some go to these concentration camps or work camps.
