Chinese living on North Korean border told to prepare for nuclear disaster by state newspaper

A state-run newspaper in northeast China published a full-page article advising local residents on how to cope with a nuclear attack – a sign of Beijing’s concern about a possible disaster in the Korean peninsula.

Wednesday’s article in J ilin Daily, published in a province that borders North Korea, ran under the headline “Knowledge about Nuclear Weapons and Protection”, came as sabre rattling continues to escalate following Pyongyang’s repeated nuclear and missile tests – the latest one last week.
