Chinese Components Found in North Korean Rockets Despite Sanctions |

![]() The Washington Post writes of a North Korean booster rocket falling into South Korean waters after a major satellite launch last year, and the South Koreans discovering that many of its key components were purchased from Chinese businesses. U.N. officials sought comment from these Chinese firms after preparing a report on the rocket configuration but "received only silence." That is not surprising since the U.N. report found that "sensitive software and other items specifically banned for export to North Korea under U.N. Security Council sanctions" were sold by the Chinese as well, and some of the shipments occurred within the last 18 months. |
