North Korean Trade with China as Reported in Chinese Customs Statistics: Recent Energy Trends and Implications Nathaniel Aden
Nathaniel Aden, researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, writes, “Whereas North Korean coal and electricity exports are sold at sub-market ‘friendship prices,’ Chinese coal and oil products have been sold to North Korea at premium prices? Chinese Customs data suggest that Beijing is taking a pragmatic, market-oriented approach to trade with its reclusive neighbor, while the increasingly asymmetrical energy embodiment of bilateral trade may reflect dilapidation of North Korea’s non-military industries.”

Policy Forum 06-78A: Wabbit in Free Fall
Robert Carlin, former Chief of the Northeast Asia Division in INR at the State Department, presented this speech given by DPRK First Vice Foreign Minister Kang Sok Ju to a meeting of North Korean diplomats held in Pyongyang over the summer. The speech states, “On the nuclear question, the guidance is quite clear and you will stick to it, no matter how often you are pestered. Whether or not we will test is not for us to know. I can tell you this-the situation in Pyongyang is where we never wanted it to be. We have no standing at all, no weight, no credibility any longer to influence the decision.”
