Trade continues between North Korea and Dandong

North Korean tourists visit the American bombed Yalu River Jiang Duan Qiao Bridge as trade continues with North Korea and China on the Friendship Bridge, in Dandong, China's largest border city with North Korea, in Liaoning Province, on May 28, 2015. China remains North Korea's most important ally, providing Pyongyang with most of its food and energy supplies and comprises over sixty percent of its total trade volume. North Korea's economic dependence on China continues to grow due to international sanctions, as indicated by the significant trade imbalance between the two countries. Photo by Stephen Shaver
