China has unveiled a new list of items that henceforth won’t be exported to North Korea, in response to latest United Nation’s sanctions passed in November last year. The new list of items specifically includes ‘dual-use technologies’ products among many other things.

The Ministry of Commerce said on Wednesday that the new list was compiled to meet the criteria’s of the latest UN Sanctions that were passed barely a month after North Korea conducted its fifth nuclear test.
While the list mostly includes specialty chemicals and rare alloys, the other items include computer software, machinery, high-speed cameras, aircraft engines and six-axle truck chassis.
The Ministry of Commerce said that the ban will be implemented from immediate effect. China’s state owned English tabloid The Global Times claim that the Chinese government announced the new list almost a week before the Lunar New Year holiday, as it was during this period that North Korea conducted a missile test last year and also in 2013.
