| China Supplies Fuel to N. Korea ---A Freebie! |
| 2003-07-23 |
| From Geostrategy-Direct, requires subscription... North Korea last week announced that China has agreed to send 10,000 tons of diesel fuel at no charge. The fuel has military uses since North Korean military vehicles could use it. China is North Korea’s key supplier of goods and fuel. The latest shipment shows that Beijing has no intention of using its supply of goods as leverage on Pyongyang. North Korea, for its part, has subtly threatened to flood northeastern China with refugees if Beijing sides with the United States in seeking to pressure the communist regime with sanctions or other economic measures. So much for Chinese cooperation at reigning in Kimmie. |
