A Dutch warship was harassed by Chinese military aircraft in the East China Sea on Friday, the Netherlands said, becoming the latest country to accuse Beijing’s forces of initiating potentially unsafe encounters in international waters.
In a statement Friday, the Dutch Defense Ministry said two Chinese fighter jets circled the frigate HNLMS Tromp several times, while its marine patrol helicopter was “approached” by two Chinese warplanes and a helicopter during a patrol.
“This created a potentially unsafe situation,” the statement said.
“Just enforcing economic violence on North Koreans, don’t harass us China !”
If China doesn’t agree with these sanctions then maybe China should stop voting for them in the UNSC. It did so at least four times in 2017 alone.
China does flout the trade embargo with NK though. It’s very one sided in China’s favour, and there’s even an exclusive train line from Dan Dong into NK. China sells NK consumer goods, and then extracts natural resources using cheap NK labour.
Economic sanctions are the non-violent option. Actual violence would be guns and bombs. If you want to equate the two, war would be the more efficient option, so I don’t think you want to imply that it’s acceptable.
I think they’re speaking in the “all authority is violence” metaphor.
Ok everyone stop trading with this country = oppression
Ok everyone trade with this country = believe it or not, also oppression
Shouldn’t you be happy that the people of North Korea are free of evil capitalism commerce and technology? That no one is inflicting an economic system on them.
Get your grievances organized. You are free to yell contradictions but few will take it seriously
North Korea stans now? The internet really does have every single type of idiot.
