China told to stop tankers in its waters reaching N. Korea

13 Sept 07:29 Key points summarised by AI

Major international powers, including G7 nations, the EU, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, formally urged China to expel oil tankers from its territorial waters.
These tankers are allegedly using China's Sansha Bay as a sanctuary to illegally supply sanctioned petroleum products to North Korea, defying UN sanctions.
The diplomatic letter, supported by satellite imagery, explicitly requests China to inspect these vessels, deny them services, and expel them to enforce international law.
The appeal underscores the international community's concern over North Korea's ongoing missile launches and the lack of united UN Security Council action, partly due to past vetoes by China and Russia.
