North Koreans don’t speak Mandarin, they would be loath to consider themselves as Han, they have a totally unique food culture, etc.

I've seen this mentioned in a documentary about people fleeing North Korea via China and Thailand as well, and they need to hide themselves from the Chinese as much as they do the DPRK border guards.
