Chinese Components Found in North Korean Rockets Despite Sanctions
2017-04-15
[Breitbart] China seems to be having second thoughts about indulging the deranged Kim regime in North Korea for so long, but it will not be easy for Beijing to downplay the amount of assistance it has given Pyongyang’s nuclear missile program over the years.

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.
