Yep, China risks $648 billion in US trade for $2.6 billion with North Korea. India is similarly challenged. Surprising that these two enemies are North Korea’s biggest trading partners.
Will it hurt for awhile ? Yes. But weather or not people see it, we are at war with NK.
“Surprising that these two enemies are North Koreas biggest trading partners.”
National industrial interests and not geopolitical reasons are why India trades what it does with North Korea. Recently though (May) India banned all trade with North Korea other than wood and medicine. I imagine they could make up for those if they needed to.
