At least six Chinese ships covertly engaged in trade with North Korea in violation of sanctions imposed by the United Nations, according to satellite photographs and other intelligence gathered by U.S. officials, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
The ships reportedly turned off their tracking devices prior to entering North Korean ports, traded what U.S. officials determined was "illicit cargo," and switched them back on as they headed to Russia or Vietnam. All six ships are owned or managed by Chinese companies or firms, according to an analysis of corporate and shipping records by The Wall Street Journal.
China's foreign ministry told The Wall Street Journal that Beijing acts in full compliance with the U.N. sanctions, adding "Any measure taken by the [United Nations Security Council] should be based upon conclusive evidence and facts."

Of course China helps North Korea. It only publicly agreed to some sanctions to APPEAR as a normal member of the world community. But it is NOT. China terrorises its neighbours, suppresses and tortures people who speak out against the regime AND it arms North Korea. And it competed ignores many World-Trade-Organisation rules, committing theft in the trillions.
How anyone in 2018 doesn't see China as a rogue state is beyond me.
Who says they are concealing it, Vietnam is a very potent country. With the right support and planning i have seen Vietnam reach the middle east. North Korea can be codenamed HERMIT all you like. It doesnt mean for a second that Jong-un is one, i think he is very comfortable talking with white faces.
