GUESS WHO LIBERALS ARE ROOTING FOR
All North Korean companies have been ordered to stop doing business in China, AFP reports.
After the UN Security Council passed new sanctions two weeks ago, the Chinese Commerce Ministry said North Korean firms and joint ventures in China would be closed within 120 days.
Following North Korea's sixth and largest nuclear test this month, the UN Security Council voted unanimously to expand sanctions on Pyongyang. It has halted the country’s textile exports and capped fuel supplies.
Last week, China’s central bank told the country's lenders to strictly implement UN sanctions against North Korea. They were ordered to stop providing financial services to new North Korean customers and to wind down loans. The banks were warned of the economic losses and risks to their reputation if they did not comply.
On Tuesday, the US announced sanctions against eight North Korean banks and 26 individuals. The new punitive measures followed President Trump’s executive order targeting North Korea’s access to the international banking system.
Washington repeatedly raised concerns that Beijing has not been tough enough over Pyongyang’s nuclear tests, warning that any threat from North Korea would trigger an "overwhelming" response.
China's President Xi Jinping assured President Trump that Beijing remains committed to denuclearizing North Korea.
