Скачать или смотреть China exported no oil products to North Korea in November: customs data

중국, 지난달 북한에 휘발유•경유 포함 석유제품 수출 전면중단

Beijing reportedly exported no oil products to Pyongyang for months now.
An unprecedented step in reponse to the regime's provocations, even going beyond what's required in under the UN sanctions.
And according to our Kim Mok-yeon, the unexpected cold shoulder got the hermit kingdom's attention.
Reuters news agency reported on Wednesday that China conducted a strict no oil export policy towards North Korea last month.
Citing data from China's General Customs Administration, Reuters said that China had suspended exports of gasoline, jet fuel, diesel and fuel oil to North Korea, a move that far exceeds what it's required to do under the latest UN sanctions imposed last week, which limit refined oil exports to the regime to half-a-million barrels a year.
This is the largest and the longest such sanction imposed by Beijing.
Previously, it had only suspended sales of oil products to Pyongyang for three days in 2003, following Pyongyang's missile test.
One North Korea expert said the latest move is expected to deal a significant blow to North Korea's market economy, but added that crude oil exports are even more critical to the regime itself.

(KOREAN) -
"I think North Korea's market economy also known as the Jangmadang will be hit hard by the cut in petroleum exports. But since the data did not reveal details about crude oil exports, the state economy could be less affected."

From early this year, trade between North Korea and China has been slowing, especially after China banned coal purchases in February.
China's trade with North Korea fell to 388 million U.S. dollars in November, the lowest volume recorded this year.
Beijing's grain exports to Pyongyang in November also dropped to record lows this year with corn exports plunging 82 percent to 100 tons, and rice exports falling 64 percent to less than 700 tons.
However, Chinese exports of liquefied petroleum gas to North Korea, rose 58 percent from a year earlier to 99 tons, while exports of ethanol increased 82 percent to 3,428 cubic meters.
