(heute) The latest nuclear and missile activities of North Korea will make the UN Security Council discuss new sanctions against Pyongyang and more stringent sanctions are inevitable. Despite the anger of the Chinese public toward North Korea‘s new nuclear test, we should avoid resorting to rash and extreme means by imposing a full embargo on North Korea.

If China completely cuts off the supply of oil to North Korea or even closes the China-North Korea border, it is uncertain whether we can deter Pyongyang from conducting further nuclear tests and missile launches.
