Top Chinese shipments to Pyongyang included processed hair and wool for use in wigs, cream, wheat flour, soybean oil, granulated sugar and rice.
Overall exports from China to North Korea hit $1.4 billion during the January-September period, up 179.8% from the same period a year earlier.
China’s national broadcaster CCTV reported on September 25 that North Korea had allowed foreigners to enter, and that visitors would be subject to a two-day quarantine upon arrival. But China has not been notified through diplomatic channels about any re-opening of North Korea’s borders, a spokesperson at the Chinese foreign ministry said on September 26.
