The forced repatriation of North Korean citizens by China is a contentious and concerning issue. North Koreans who flee their homeland often do so to escape the oppressive regime, dire living conditions, and the lack of basic freedoms. In doing so, they enter China as refugees, seeking safety and a chance at a better life.

However, China's policy toward North Korean refugees is far from welcoming. It considers them illegal economic migrants rather than refugees, and this stance has led to the repatriation of hundreds, if not thousands, of North Koreans over the years.
