Chinese Benefits from Investing in Rason

China has denied details from a South Korean media report over development projects in North Korea's Rajin-Sonbong Special Economic Zone, also known as the Rason Special Economic Zone. Beijing has long been involved in the region and has admitted that it is co-developing Rason with Pyongyang. While the details are unclear, China has reason to invest in Rason — the port could help alleviate some of China's logistical problems. North Korea is eager to accept the investment because economic uncertainty during a time of transition could be catastrophic for the new regime.
