衛星圖像表明中國正在祕密懲罰朝鮮

Is China secretly punishing Kim Jong Un forhis nuclear mischief?

中國因爲核問題正在懲罰朝鮮？

Following North Korea’s latest nuclear test, in January, trade overthe China-North Korea border dropped dramatically, according to newly releasedsatellite imagery. The revelation has led experts to conclude that Beijing hasbeen quietly punishing Kim by cutting off the flow of funds to his regime.

最新公佈的衛星圖片顯示，在朝鮮一月份最新一次的核試驗後，中朝邊境的貿易急劇下降。於是專家們得出結論說北京正通過切斷資金流的方式來祕密的懲罰朝鮮。

There’s no question that the China-NorthKorea relationship has been strained since Kim assumed power in 2011. AgainstBeijing’s wishes, the young leader has revved up North Korea’s pace of missiletests and detonated two nuclear devices, one in 2013 and then again this 2013, Kim executed his uncle Jang Song Thaek, whohad been China’s main contact in Pyongyang.

毫無疑問自金正恩2011年上臺以來中朝關係變得緊張起來。金正恩不顧中國反對加速了導彈測試步伐，並引爆了兩顆核武器，分別是2013年和今年一月份。2013年，金正恩處死了自己的叔叔，他是中國在朝鮮的主要接頭人。
