Tourists walk on the Broken bridge next to the Friendship bridge (L) on the Yalu River connecting the North Korean town of Sinuiju and the Chinese border city of Dandong on July 6, 2017.
Trucks still line up bumper-to-bumper on the "Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge" to bring goods from North Korea into China even as Beijing faces massive pressure to strangle its Communist ally economically. Some two dozen trucks awaited clearance to enter the border city of Dandong, through which 70 percent of North Korea's trade passes, a day after Pyongyang successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile. / AFP PHOTO / NICOLAS ASFOURI / TO GO WITH CHINA-NKOREA-US-MISSILE-DIPLOMACY-TRADE FOCUS BY JOANNA CHIU (Photo credit should read NICOLAS ASFOURI/AFP/Getty Images)
