China eases economic pressure on North Korea, undercutting the Trump admin

[Guno צְבִי]

So much for trumps deal making


China has steadily loosened restrictions on trade with North Korea in recent months, undercutting President Donald Trump's effort to exert economic pressure on Kim Jong Un's regime, former U.S. officials and independent experts told NBC News.

From coal shipments to revived construction projects to planes ferrying Chinese tourists to Pyongyang, China has reopened the door to both legal and illegal trade with the North, throwing the North Korean government a vital lifeline while derailing U.S. diplomacy.

Gee, I thought NK would have been totally de-nuclearized by now? This is SHOCKING!

 

[anatta]

Now we know who under cut sanctions.. and if I were Trump i'd let China know they won't get away with it for free

Are you being factitious ... or are you just a total nutbag?

it's the urge to make sure even US/North Korea relations are not improved by Trump;
they are just that craven in outlook

Why would NK dismantle it's nuclear arsenal? hahahahahahahaha ... don't be an idiot.

It's not just Trump. All the Presidents just placated NK and did nothing.

In order to avoid the U.S. ... "dismantling" it for them, of course.

my mistake. total nutbag it was. * things I feel like saying*...but...

Do you get the theme here? China is undercutting the sanctions, and thereby undercutting any progress?
It has nothing to do with "placating"..hmm?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha .......

When NK lobs two missiles over Japan, THAT is an Act of War. When the US just stands there and sucks it's thumb, ... THAT means NK can do anything it wants and the US will do NOTHING!

Smell the dog treats, Bigdog.

Kim Jong-Un has what he wants, a nuclear arsenal. NOTHING is going to take that from him. PERIOD!

You've gone off the rails, Jack.

You're just blathering and making zero sense at this point.

you are still missing it. effective sanctions are an offer that cannot be refused. they would drain the regime of cash
it drove them to Singapore because China had the lid clamped. Now they are out of the box

Uh, yeah. You can stop thinking about 'dismantling' the NK nuclear arsenal, we've just given them the keys to the Nuclear Club.

(shaking head) 'Sanctions'. If NK wants 'hard cash', they can get it by selling their nuclear technology to other regimes. Or selling radioactive material to terrorist Groups.
By NOT taking military action on NK previously, we've opened up Pandora's Box.

YOU can surrender and bow down to Socialist NK. I still believe the U.S. military can defeat him if he refuses to dismantle.

It's not that easy, and whom do they sell it to? Japan? we would give Japan if needed, not Pakistan, not Iran either
-so who?
