BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese property speculators are starting to bet on a rapid improvement in relations between North Korea and the rest of the world, pushing up prices in the border city of Dandong and even spurring buying interest in the world’s most isolated country. Last week, online Chinese real estate investment platform Uoolu.com released a guide for Chinese buyers interested in North Korean real estate.

北京(路透社)-中国房地产投机商开始押注朝鲜,利用世界其他地区关系的迅速改善,推高了边境城市丹东的价格,甚至刺激了对这个世界上最孤立国家的房产购买兴趣。上周,在线中国房地产投资平台Uoolu.com发布了一份指南,专门针对那些对朝鲜房地产感兴趣的中国买家。

"Recently we’ve had many inquiries about investing in North Korea’s property market," said Huang Xiaodan, founder and CEO of Uoolu.com, which specialises in helping Chinese buy property overseas. Actual cross-border investment has yet to materialise. "Venturing into a new frontier requires policy support and time to cultivate the market," said Huang. "At the moment, we’re just paying close attention to what’s going on."

“最近关于投资朝鲜房地产市场的咨询有很多,”专门帮助中国人购买海外物业的Uoolu.com创始人兼首席执行官黄晓丹说。实际的跨境投资尚未实现。“开拓新领域需要政策支持和时间来培育市场,”黄说。“目前,我们只是密切关注正在发生的事情。”

North Korea has long been largely shut to foreign investors, an isolation that deepened when the United Nations ratcheted up sanctions last year in an effort to curb its development of nuclear weapons. But a dramatic improvement in relations between Pyongyang and China, with a secretive Beijing visit by the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in late March, followed by last week’s historic inter-Korean summit and an upcoming meeting between Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump, has caught the notice of some opportunistic investors.

朝鲜长期以来一直关闭外国投资者,去年联合国为了制止其发展核武器而实施制裁时,这种孤立情况更加严重。但平壤与中国之间的关系急剧改善,北韩领导人金正恩在3月下旬访问北京,随后是上周历史性的朝韩首脑会议,以及金正日与美国总统唐纳德特朗普即将举行的会议,这使得一些投资者抓住了机遇。

"I’ve had several inquiries from Chinese interested in purchasing properties in Pyongyang, Wonsan and Sinuiju," said the founder of INDPRK, a travel company in Dandong that runs tours to North Korea, who goes by the name Griffin Che. "There are a lot of speculators on the market right now but, at the moment, only locals can buy property in North Korea."

“我接触到几个中国人,他们有兴趣在平壤,元山和新义州购买房产,”丹东一家旅行公司INDPRK的创始人格里芬表示,该公司主要负责前往朝鲜的旅游业务。“现在市场上有很多投机者,但目前只有当地人有权利在朝鲜购买房产。”
