The possibility of cutting North Korea’s oil supply to raise pressure on the regime is gaining momentum as the world reels from its latest nuclear weapons test.
While an oil embargo is seen one of the most effective of all sanctions against the reclusive regime, it is not an easy one to be implemented, experts noted, since it would have to involve China and Russia.
“All international sanctions against North Korea effectively depends on China. It is difficult to predict but it is unlikely that China would completely stop its oil export to its communist ally,” a Korea Institute for National Unification researcher told The Korea Herald, declining to be named.
North Korea is known to import about 1 million tons of crude and petroleum products from China according to data from the US Energy Information Administration. It is presumed that some 300,000 tons of crude oil is also shipped from Russia. China has neither confirmed nor denied its oil trade with the North.
