China has continuously violated UN resolutions banning imports of North Korean minerals, a US broadcaster reported Wednesday.
China has always advocated "compliance with UN resolutions and strict sanctions against North Korea", but its continued imports of North Korean coal belie that stance. As a "responsible major power” China should not enable North Korea's dangerous militarism. The US, Japan and South Korea should support Taiwan’s effort to achieve China's democratization and put pressure on North Korea to follow suit. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
