China has told North Koreancompanies operating in its territory to close down as it implements United Nations sanctions against the reclusive state.

The companies will be shut by early January, the BBC reports.

Joint Chinese and North Korean ventures will also be forced to close.

China, Pyongyang’s only major ally, has already banned textile trade and limited oil exports.

The move is part of an international response to North Korea’s sixth and most powerful nuclear test.

The UN Security Council, of which China is a member, voted unanimously for fresh sanctions on September 11.

China’s commerce ministry said it had set a deadline of 120 days from the passing of the resolution for any North Korean companies within its borders to close.

North Korea is politically and economically isolated, and the vast majority of its trade is with China.

Beijing has traditionally been protective of its neighbour, but has sharply criticised its nuclear tests and escalating rhetoric.

Earlier this year, it clamped down on its purchase of coal from Pyongyang and on seafood and iron trade across the border.

Hmmmmmh... North Korea! #shakes head and walks outta thread.

The United States is too smart.

Hahahahah where are those that say the USA has lost it influence..Lucasbalo your hero in North Korea is being thrown under the bus ..God bless Trump is all I can say

North Korea would still be stronger and tougher than the entire Africa

North Korea is China's property. A fly can't hurt NK while China still breaths. Believe this at your own peril

Public displacement of deception to appease Uncle Sam.

Guy I always follow your argument against anything US, China had already warned NK that they are on their own if provoked US to war. Oh wait, so you think China will risk her blooming economy and relationship with US just because of NK? Even Putin is not that stupid to face US because of NK

falopey:
Lobatan! Where are those shouting China will protect NK? They have forgotten that US is the largest destination of Chinese industrial products. China will never trade her economic progress pivoted on US trade partnership with one stupid NK that brings little or nothing to their table.

I still don't get how normal human being would think China will fight US just because of NK. I don't get it

I don't make arguments against anything US. China surely doesn't wanna lose US but they also don't want US IN their border which is a greater risk. China, Russia and NK aren't too far from one another and if NK goes down courtesy US then those two power houses will have a new neighbour who happens to be more of an enemy than a friend.

China does things with diplomacy.

Are you aware of the thousands of Chinese soldiers already deployed at the border to receive massive influx of refugees into China should US attack? Trump is even expecting China to fight NK on their behalf but only Nigerian analysts believe China will fight for NK.

During the Korean war when China wasn't too strong militarily, they defended NO talkmore of now. US won't be stupid to attack NK, South Korea and Japan will do everything to ensure that doesn't happen. Minimum of 20,000 people will die everyday in Seoul if it happens because NK will strike back.

If you can thinking China will leave or attack NK then you are dreaming but then again, it's free and easy to dream
