A large scale military facility has been underway in Longjing since August.
The news of China beefing up its military come amid rising tensions in the area, following Pyongyang’s Nuclear Test in early September.
China has been expanding its military bases throughout Asia, and most recently have opened a runway for commercial aircrafts on an artificial island on the Fiery Cross Reef, an area which has also been claimed by Vietnam and the Philippines. The military expansion on the border with North Korea is an unprecedented move by Beijing.

North Korea responded in kind, and deployed a military outpost atop a mountain to observe military activity on the Chinese side of the border.
