  • BBC News：China restricts North Korea trade over nuclear tests
    BBC News reports: "China has said is restricting trade with North Korea, announcing bans on gold and some coal imports and jet fuel exports, in line with UN sanctions....The UN Security Council voted in March to increase the sanctions. The unanimous decision came after North Korea carried out a fourth nuclear test in January and launched a long-range rocket the following month....The Chinese ban on exports is linked to any fuel or oil products that could be associated with North Korea's nuclear programme. Our correspondent says these restrictions are likely to hurt as China accounts for the vast majority of trade with North Korea and mining is a key source of currency for the North....But China's commerce ministry said the trade in coal would still be permitted as long as the revenue was intended for 'people's well-being'."

'If material from foreign media attacking China is found on any website, it will be dealt with severely,' the notice said."
