China suspends coal imports from N.Korea www3.nhk.or.jp
The Chinese government announced it is suspending coal imports from North Korea for the rest of the year in line with the latest UN sanctions against Pyongyang. The trade has been the country's main source of revenue.
China's Ministry of Commerce released a statement on Saturday that the 3-week suspension starts on Sunday and ends on December 31st.
It says the decision was to implement a new sanctions resolution adopted by the UN Security Council on November 30th, in response to North Korea's 5th nuclear test in September.
The resolution slashes coal exports to less than half the current amount. China has been the main buyer.
Analysts say China is trying to demonstrate its resolve to adhere to the UN resolution.
But Beijing has yet to reveal its import quota for next year.
