China will suspend all imports of coal from North Korea until the end of the year, the Commerce Ministry announced Saturday, in a surprise move that would cut off a major financial lifeline for Pyongyang and significantly tighten the effectiveness of U.N. sanctions.
Coal is North Korea's largest export item. The ministry said the ban would come into force Sunday and be effective until Dec. 31.
Snip~
China has also come under significant international pressure to do more to rein in North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, while President Xi Jinping is believed to have become increasingly irritated by Kim Jong Un's behavior.
~
But in a sign that Beijing's patience was running out, it rejected a coal shipment from North Korea worth about $1 million Monday, the day after the test of an intermediate-range ballistic missile, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported.
China has long been reluctant to do anything that might threaten the stability of the North Korean regime - mainly because it fears that the reunification of the Korean peninsula could bring South Korea, an American ally that hosts U.S. troops, right up to its border.
But Pyongyang's unwillingness to consider China's interests has badly damaged - or even destroyed - trust between the longstanding allies.

I am surprised it has taken this long to bitch slap the fat idiot. The last thing they desire is for NK to drag the US into blowing up NK. I would like to think someone in the Trump administration got on the phone and advised the Chi coms they had better control NK or we will have to take care of it ourselves.

Yeah, I thought the same, then I remembered the islands they're building so as to claim territory they have no right to.
This pisses off Japan, Japan would happily ally with South Korea, the US will back them forcing China's hand and complicating their Island building in the South China Sea.
China is smart, they have goals and a little dictator firing missiles toward Japan brings much unwanted attention and china is not in a position to militarily challenge Japan and an allied Korea, running the risk of another war at their front door, anyway, not in the next couple of decades.
Anyway, that's how I see it.

Would anyone put it past that little dog-eating midget to fire another missile at japan, or THREATEN to fire several missiles, if he doesn't get his way, or loses financial support from China?
IMO... he's crazy enough to try an start a war! This midget whacko just sent a hit squad to Australia to take out "family".
He's surrounded by so many "yes-men", he might actually believe his own propaganda!
(please - please - please, hop in a rocket and be the first human to land on Mars..., your people would 'rejoice'.)

For all we know, this is the dog and pony show of distraction these bastards are putting on for Western media, maybe China offed his idiot brother, then again, it could all be true, I haven't the slightest, but oddly enough, I trust Trump more than I trust the GOP or the last Marxist when it comes to sorting it out.
Seriously, I honestly don't think we have to worry about the antics of these idiots because Trump will run the board on these Commies, anyway, that's what it's starting to look like, even our own leftist media don't know whether to shit or get off the pot. :biggrin:
Kim Jung Un looks to me like a teletubby on a serious regimen of ugly pills

This pudgy dog-dish-lover is just smart enough to do something really, really stupid... 'If they think I'm gonna just roll over and play dead, I'll show them!' and launch a nuke toward So. Korea or Japan where it could do the most damage.
This might be a good time to remind the dog-eating fiend of Ronald Reagan International Diplomacy, Gadaffi style. We have a special message for you, the USAF will personally deliver it. Ok, give him a chance, "Knock-knock..." send it Israeli style.

Vietnam:
Put street dog in bamboo cage, starve for three days, feed big bowl of warm rice. Kill dog, remove hair, put in small oven, roast with entrails and contents of stomach intact.
When done, cut open stomach, eat rice first.
Practice is called:
"MUM JHAW"

Maybe that's what should be done with Kim Jong Un.

...another reason why Mission work is not for the queasy.
When a dog show like "Crufts" is shown on TV... do they start drooling?
