◆ Concealment of the sanction by the authorities

It seems that, the North Korean government did not explain to their people a new and more reinforced sanction has been imposed on their country by the international society, including China until mid May due to nuclear test and recent rocket launching. The official media and the speakers at a meeting for political study refer that American imperialist and its followers are blocking their country economically. However, “No explanation has been given for the detailed contents of the sanction, the subject goods or the reason,” said the reporting partners. Thee North Korean government hid the truth on purpose.

The reporting partner in South Pyongan Province said, “Kaesong industrial complex was closed because the government pushed ahead nuclear test which no one wanted. I think that the people would turn their backs on Kim Jong-un regime if the economy fell into chaos by the sanction from China.” ASIA PRESS asked him to investigate the customs office. The reporter reported that the officials from the customs office never admitted the effect of economic sanction although they had acknowledged the decrease of trade volume.
