Yeah N. Korea

Do you even read your articles? The experts in your article suggest a 1.25 billion dollars in their trade deficit is simply ignored by China since N. Korea essentially has no borrowing power. That's money the could have easily made elsewhere.

China considers $1.25bn good value if it buys them a somewhat functional border guard to keep the North Koreans from getting in. (Well more of them than those who can manage it currently.) Not unlike the funds pumped into Mexico by the USA in the vain hope it'll keep at least some Mexicans put.
