āIt Was Like Having the Chinese Government in the Room With Usā
U.S. authorities provided satellite photos of a North Korean ship transferring coal to a Chinese-flagged vessel to the U.N. panel of experts for North. China responded that it was ācompletely normalā for Chinese coast guard vessels to patrol in the region and asked the panel ānot to include in its report unverified informationā about the Chinese ship. Also, they stated it was a matter of national security.
It also underscores the contradiction between Beijingās attempt to assert itself as a
champion of multilateralism while it persistently seeks to air brush out the record of its
failure to live up to those commitments. The United States has expressed increasing concern about Chinaās failure to enforce sanctions.
