1. North Korea’s geographic proximity to leading communist countries—most notably China and, historically, the Soviet Union—helps explain why it is more associated with communism than South Korea. Because North Korea borders China (and was also close to the Soviet sphere of influence) it was more directly exposed to, and later supported by, these nations during and after World War II. This proximity facilitated the spread of communist ideology, making it appear more likely to adopt and maintain a communist system relative to South Korea, which is separated from these communist influences by both geography and different historical alliances.

2. The river that separates China from North Korea is the Yalu River (known as the Amnok River in Korean).
1. North Korea is closer to China and the Soviet Union, which are communist countries, so it's more likely to be communist. 2. The Yalu River separates China from North Korea.
