Reuters: China Halts Oil Product Exports to N. Korea in November

China reportedly suspended exports of oil products to North Korea last month, amid strong UN sanctions against the regime.

According to Reuters on Tuesday, data from China's General Administration of Customs showed that China did not export any gasoline, jet fuel, diesel or fuel oil to its isolated neighbor last month.

China's latest move is expected to deal a significant blow to North Korea's economy given that the North is heavily dependent on China for oil products. 

In March 2003, China had suspended oil supplies to North Korea for three days after Pyongyang fired a missile into waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan. 

The report also said that Beijing did not import any iron ore, coal or lead from North Korea in November, the second full month of the latest trade sanctions imposed by the UN.
