China asks the UN to expand sanctions against the DPRK

The Chinese authorities announced the expansion of the UN sanctions against North Korea after a recent test of the hydrogen bomb by Pyongyang. It is reported by Reuters.

The United States intends to make new restrictive measures against the DPRK for consideration by the UN Security Council. Washington proposed prohibiting oil supplies to Pyongyan and freeze the assets of the DPRK leader Kim Jong -un. In the United States, they also want to prohibit buying textiles from North Korea and hiring local workers.

Washington suggests that a resolution can pass on Monday, September 11.

The DPRK authorities claim that the United States wants war. At the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, the DPRK delegation threatened with “powerful measures” in response to possible sanctions.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that there is no solution to the problem of North Korea, except for diplomatic,. The President of South Korea Moon Jae Jae previously advocated the strengthening of sanctions against the DPRK. Seoul, like Washington, insists on the ban on oil supplies to Pyongyan. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that the international community should exert pressure on the DPRK in order to stop nuclear tests on the Korean Peninsula.

On September 3, North Korea announced the test of a hydrogen bomb. Pyongyang called the test successful. The DPRK central television reported that the ammunition is designed to install intercontinental ballistic missiles. In response to this, the leaders of the world powers sharply criticized Pyongyang's actions.
