US warns Hong Kong on illicit North Korea tradeA senior United States official warned Hong Kong authorities Wednesday they must stop the city being used as a "safe harbour" for illicit trade with North Korea, in violation of United Nations sanctions. The warning came weeks after a Hong Kong-flagged ship was seized in South Korea for transferring oil products to another vessel. The UN -- at the urging of the US -- has imposed a series of sanctions against North Korea aimed at tightening the economic screws on Pyongyang over its missile and nuclear programme.
