written by SI Analytics
AI analysis of Rajin Port reveals substantial exports of Russian coal to China since last April, utilizing dedicated equipment and an allocated pier. This effectively means the entire port’s import/export operations are linked to Russian trade. Furthermore, there are indications that North Korean coal is being exported alongside the Russian supply, in direct violation of UN sanctions. With North Korea and Russia’s increasing collaboration across multiple sectors, China’s role in addressing this situation becomes crucial. Relevant parties should prioritize establishing a shared understanding of North Korea’s WMD development and define common goals as a foundation for strategic action.
