Reuters: At U.N., China delays U.S. bid to blacklist ships, companies over North Korea
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - China delayed a U.S. request for a United Nations Security Council committee to blacklist 33 ships, 27 shipping companies, and a Taiwan man for violating international sanctions on North Korea, diplomats said on Friday.
The United States submitted the request a week ago, a move it says is“aimed at shutting down North Korea’s illicit maritime smuggling activities to obtain oil and sell coal.”
The U.N. request coincided with the United States imposing its largest package of unilateral sanctions against North Korea on Friday, intensifying pressure on Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons and missile programs.
China did not give a reason for placing a hold on the U.S. request. A hold can be lifted and is often used when a Security Council member wants more information, but sometimes it can lead to a permanent blocking of a proposed blacklisting.
The Security Council North Korea sanctions committee works on the basis of unanimity.

Sanctions against China could help it to understand what is what.
Like in all seriousness, the amount of threats and theft coming from China is not normal
1. China stole trillions in intellectual property rights from the EU and the US over the last 3 decades - trillions with a T. When do we get back that money? When will we start talking about it more publicly? They owe us A LOT of money
2. China has threatened India with war over the Maldives recently. Maldives are India's closest natural sea neighbour. Thousand and thousands of miles away from China coast. WTF is China thinking?
3. China threatened Vietnam with WAR over a drilling platform in disputed waters last year. WTF. Vietnam is a neighbour and culturally very close. What is China thinking?
4. China threatened the US over war. Why? The US was/is thinking about invading North Korea. They have to do so to get rid of the nuclear missiles. Why invade? Because North Korea has mobile missile launchers, that are hard to get reliably from the air, making ground forces crucial. Where did North Korea get those mobile missile launchers from? FROM CHINA! WTF! China also sold to North Korea the rocket fuel that powers those rockets. Unbelievable bastards!
5. China keeps hacking on grand scale pretty much every nation on Earth, keeps stealing IP, keeps stealing designs. Do you think it is coincidence that almost every design coming from China (from industrial applications, to home electronics, to military) looks like what the US and Europe companies did years earlier? Go to China and you still see - to this day - copies of American and European inventions. When will it stop? When will we see money from all this theft??
6. China is a massive abuser of Human rights. Talk to Amnesty International about their torture halls in which you are kept for weeks without sleep - after a week or two you may suffer from a heart episode. After more time you will (no doubt about it) sign any paper they put in front of you and do the typical "I admit my guilt" video recordings. Just look at what happened to the book sellers they grabbed from HONG KONG!! Hong Kong was meant to be a free system under the agreement with the UK. China also broke that promise. See what it's like in Hong Kong? Student demonstrators going to prison for months and years. That's the future for everyone if you follow the China model.
WHEN WILL WE WAKE UP?
China is not a friend.
China is not a partner.
These are not actions of friends or partners.
All our goodwill, all our extending of our hands, all of our ignorning their theft and human rights violations is NOT SEEN AS STRENGTH, BUT WEAKNESS.
They do not care about us. They never have. It's been decades of this.. WHEN WILL WE WAKE UP? The experiment China has failed and cost us so much money.
China also destroys the environment still. All those artificial islands (military bases built in disputed waters, ignoring international law!) were built by destroying coral reef that took ages to develop. Gone.
China f*cks with us for decades now, steals everything from us, claims all the land and seas, threatens us all with war, arms our enemies. WHEN IS IT ENOUGH??
It is time we stand up to our believes, our values and demand what's right.. enough of the theft. Enough of the bullying. Nations unite against the bully!
I stand up. I demand. enough. Now what? nukes?
This anon I like 😊
