No official reason has been given for Beijing's request to keep foreigners away from the border area of China-North Korea. However, some sources familiar with North Korean issues are speculating that military maneuvers have been escalating in the region since the death of Kim Jong-il, the former leader of North Korea.

North Korea's new leader, Kim Jong-un is perceived by some as weak in character and may be unable to keep a strong hold on his power. Accordingly, the military maneuvers by the South Korean government could be perceived as intimidation tactics, but nobody has concluded that South Korea would actually launch a strike, but instead utilize a bluffing strategy.
