US media found a way to circumvent sanctions against companies trading with the DPRK

65
American edition Financial Times Comes out with material that presents as a revelation. American reporters say that, despite the sanctions imposed on North Korea, foreign companies continue to maintain trade and economic contacts with the DPRK. It was noted that those companies in respect of which the United States had previously imposed sanctions continue to interact with Pyongyang.

The submission states that companies trade with North Korea through legal entities registered in the PRC's free economic zone - Hong Kong. It is noted that at least 16 companies operating under sanctions pressure from the US Treasury and other US structures are working in this format today.



The Financial Times writes that China allegedly wants to prevent this kind of trade, but the laws of the FTA and other liberal laws regarding Hong Kong (Hong Kong) do not allow interfering with the business carried out through these territories.

US media found a way to circumvent sanctions against companies trading with the DPRK


American journalists, citing sources in the political elites of the United States, report that Washington will push Beijing to tighten measures against companies implementing this kind of trade with the DPRK. It turns out that the United States will now themselves be pushing China to repeal the liberal legislation regarding Hong Kong? ..

        The Chinese themselves put the sanctions, it does not seem enough.

        The Chinese have their own interests in the UK. They do not need hemorrhoids at their borders. Hardly "put". Liberalism and business. They definitely do not need refugees, just like us.

          Of course you are right.
          For China, the DPRK is actually like a buffer zone, and although it only partially covers the northern part of China, however, the zone turned out to be closed to prying American eyes.

        The USSR did not die, not because of sanctions, but because of dissatisfied clowns, whom, as it seemed, the CPSU stole BILLIONS directly from their pockets. Well now the clowns are not far gone. They also think that if it weren’t for the government, they would be rich like the Yankees or the Swiss.

        Well, in addition to bawling clowns, there is always intelligence from foreign countries that give clowns themes for reflection, draw cool demotivators and come up with jokes. Integrated and competent work. All kinds of graphs are drawn, for quoting to actors. Throw slogans in the style of information space - Stop feeding the Caucasus. Moscow is not Russia and so on. Clowns pick up, clowns like to think that they were robbed, and not that they need to learn, improve and look for problems in themselves.

        Under the Sanctions of the USSR was from the first day of existence.

        When revolution clowns begin to be sent for prey, then it will be easier to survive the sanctions.

        In this country, it has always been visible and will be so. The external enemy will be defeated - but with his clowns we are almond. It was necessary to do in China. And from time to time to conduct purges from alarmists and actors.

        it’s not sad, but where is the USSR right now? ... so Vitalka is wrong here !!! .... another reincarnation? .... not tired?)) ....


        and I’m sure that Meehan didn’t ride in the squares of clowns in the 90s. But here there are characters who jumped - and now Putin is to blame and they are sitting here with digital epaulets telling stories

            these are the same. Bookkeepers of corruption, listeners of Radio Liberty and thieves seekers. Now Alyosha or another clown will bring you another folder about corruption and run to overthrow the government to the delight of foreign intelligence and states. Russians cannot be broken by force - therefore, clowns inside the country will help them.

              The USSR did not become due to the petty-bourgeois degeneration of wide sections of society. First of all, in power, but not only. When the focus was not to develop as much as possible for everyone, but to earn as much as possible for oneself. Which fundamentally changed the very foundation of the movement of society from progressive forward to communism (pathos as it may seem), to the reverse movement to the bourgeois system. And this movement began under Khrushchev.
              The second reason was the avalanche-like complication of the general economic diversity: from the list of all small bolts to the required number of cars or fur coats. The State Planning Commission, in principle, became unable to thoroughly calculate the need for the national economy in one form or another of products, services, etc. for every five-year period, using only accounts, arithmometers and primitive computers. Even at the modern level of development of computing power, this is not a trivial task. Although feasible. That's just the Soviet Union is gone. Hence the failures in making decisions on the release of products. But these are millions of items. Yes, with all the interconnections between themselves.
              Well, there are even fewer reasons.
              The bias towards the defense was not due to the planned economy, but because of the extremely friendly capitalist environment. Striving to vitrify the surface of Russia with carpet plantings of vigorous loaves.
              It seems that the USSR has long been gone. And the friendliness of sworn friends has not changed a gram.

    Yeah, here’s capitalism in all its glory-profit in the first place, and some notorious "national security" to the business only to the detriment!

    It is noted that those companies continue to interact with Pyongyang, in respect of which the United States has previously imposed sanctions.

    If the US has already imposed sanctions on some company, they will certainly be trading with the DPRK. What are they losing? Are they already sanctioned? I still did not understand the logic of targeting of our American friends.

    And if it imposes sanctions on more and more countries and companies, then the time will come when they will put themselves under sanctions.

      Introduce additional sanctions ...

      Such an option is very unlikely, given that sanctions are imposed selectively and often against those who agree with other countries in the United States.

    And what does the United States have to do with it, sit in this America’s soya and sit here. Let then cease trade relations with Mexico, Canada. Nonsense. They put their nose in every hole.

      Many sanctions are carried out through the UN and, in general, Americans are disguised as nuclear security.

      The idea, of course, is not bad if they would give guarantees not to attack countries that refused nuclear weapons.
