Added info about Changbaishan being the supposed birthplace of Kim Jong Il
Because it is on the border, Changbaishan is disputed territory. Both the [[People's Republic of China]] and [[North Korea]] claim that the mountain is theirs. Officially, part of the mountain range and volcano lies in each country.

According to [[Kim Jong Il]]'s state biography, he was supposedly born on Changbaishan in 1942; however, official Soviet records contradict this, showing that Kim was in fact born in 1941, at Vyatskoye, a small Russian town not far away from North Korea.
