Picture of the Day: Chinese Gifts for Kim Jong-un
This photo capture from North Korea’s Central TV on March 29, 2018, shows a set of gifts that Chinese President Xi Jinping gave to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Kim traveled to Beijing, his first trip outside his country since taking power in late 2011, from March 25-28 and held talks with Xi. The talks between the two close allies preceded Kim’s planned summits with the leaders of South Korea and the United States. (Yonhap)
I would like to hear what a sanctions expert has to say about those gifts. The gifts look like luxury goods and could potentially be used to fund DPRK’s nuclear program. For these reasons, it seems likely that these gifts violate UN sanctions.
Not any worse than the plane travel, food, accommodation and suitcases of cash that accompanied the singers, athletes back up North from the Pyongyang Olympics.
There is a noticable shortage of cheese.
I don’t know… that “China” looks more like cheesy Dollar Store stoneware…
