China is still the number one provider of food and fuel, but I guess the Chinese think they get more benefit from the ongoing trade, even with problems, than with no trade.
One month ago, PBS ran a documentary on Korean refugees from the north, going into China. Seems that right now, they are not too welcome, the Chinese have been rounding them up big time and shipping them back. Many of the Koreans are hidding.
I'll look up the other story for you. I think it was from South Korea or Japan.

If the entire North Korean population moves to China, Kim has no country. China is deporting those people to keep North Korea afloat. East Germany's Communist government collapsed because people were leaving in droves for West Germany via Hungary. If North Korea decamps for China, South Korea can unify the country without firing a shot. That's not what China wants.
