Beijing is mainly buying coal and other minerals from Pyongyang, and crucially supplying food and fuel for its citizens. The data from 2016 doesn‘t clearly reflect what‘s going on now, as China banned North Korean coal in February.
So when Trump says that the US would stop doing business with countries trading with Pyongyang, it would almost certainly have to include China.

September die Hwasong-14 im Standardwinkel in Richtung der USA abschieĂen und die Wiedereintrittstechnologie demonstrieren wolle.
