VOA: China Banning Coal, Iron, Seafood Imports From North Korea
China announced Monday it is banning imports of coal, iron ore, seafood and other products from North Korea in line with new United Nations sanctions approved earlier this month.
Chinese leaders had pledged to fully enforce the sanctions, which China and the other members of the U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted in response to North Korean ballistic missile tests.
The sanctions could block as much as $1 billion in North Korean exports.

What does seem different this time is the publicity surrounding the sanctions. In the past it seems that these things were handled much more privately.
When you discipline a dog, you do it immediately after it does something wrong. You do not wait. That will confuse the dog.
If you sanction a country, you do it publicly. That way the spinmeisters and trolls cannot spin the reason or the effect of the sanctions as much.
