He\u2019s got this point across, he has entertained everybody.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cIn terms of his substantive policy, it has actually been very good. It has been to go around the world to cut off these money flows to North Korea. So they cannot launch missiles, detonate nukes or so that Kim Jong-un cannot engage in gift politics, which is the giving of luxury items like Mercedes and Rolex\u2019s to senior regime elements to buy their loyalty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cThere are signs that Donald Trump\u2019s plan is working. We\u2019re seeing for instance that junior officials in Pyongyang, part of the regimes favourite class are not getting their rations from the special distribution channels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cThere are stories for instance that the regime is accelerating the demand for loyalty payments, which are informal taxes, and that indicates a tax-flow problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cThere are even stories, and I don\u2019t know how to put these into context. But there are stories that children are being rounded up to be put in labour camps so they can turn out products for the regime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cA lot of these stories may be exaggerated, but they all point in the same direction, that is that the President\u2019s plan to cut off money to North Korea is starting to have an effect.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The author has previously warned that the North Korean regime was strapped for cash after a defector embarrassed the state by escaping across the demilitarised zone back in November.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The border guard, known only by his surname Oh, fled by army vehicle and then on foot as he was shot at by North Korean guards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Ten-inch long parasitic worms had to be removed from the stomach of the defector, revealing the appalling conditions of life in the hermit kingdom. Mr Chang claimed that this was evidence of frailties within Kim Jong-un&#8217;s regime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">He said: \u201cThis soldier, surnamed Oh, was the best of the best&#8230; The fact that one of them would defect is an indication that there are real problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cIf the best of the best don\u2019t get sufficient nourishment, we can only imagine what about the rest of the population.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The United Nations Security Council imposed tough new sanctions on North Korea after its continued missile testing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The resolution seeks to ban nearly 90 percent of refined petroleum product exports to North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The resolution also bans exports of industrial equipment, machinery, transportation vehicles and industrial metals to North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Mr Trump tweeted: \u201cThe United Nations Security Council just voted 15-0 in favour of additional Sanctions on North Korea.
