correction Re: China - North Korea and Russia Tripoint

whooops
my sydlexia is evidently acting up again
for i have just realized i got the condominium exactly
reversed
& the triline along with it 

what i meant & should have said is
facing downstream as usual
the left half of the river has become the cnkp condo
& the adjacent right half is still entirely north
korean territory

so the triline runs to the center from the left bank 
rather than from the right bank as misstated below
& the tripoints at the ends of the triline are
correspondingly reversed
cnkpkpru being at midriver & cncnkpru at the left bank
