This will make people buy gold: "Chinese troops move to N. Korean border 2003-09-15 18:55 (New York) HONG KONG, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- China has moved soldiers into position along its border with North Korea, with Hong Kong news reports saying as many as 150,000 troops are involved. Chinese officials confirmed Monday troops have replaced police officers along the 870-mile border. The New York Times said the move marks a subtle, but significant, change in relations between the two Communist states. Chinese officials described the move as a routine adjustment, but the Times noted it comes as Beijing exerts new pressure on North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons program. The newspaper said the movement of army troops suggests China could be preparing for the possibility of conflict, although analysts consider it highly unlikely that China would militarily threaten Pyongyang. Ma Dingsheng, a Chinese military analyst in Hong Kong, told the New York Times: "I think this shows that China is getting more concerned about the overall state of affairs in North Korea and the refugee problem in particular. But we are not seeing the kind of deployment you would see if China were contemplating military action."
