BEIJING – China has reportedly moved 150,000 troops and medical supplies to its North Korean border fearing a refugee crisis in the event of US airstrike, a South Korean news agency claimed on Tuesday. As the United States announced its independent North Korean behaviour and moved the United States Navy’s nuclear-powered Calvinus (CVN-70) carrier class to Singapore, Korean news agency Chosun said “the Chinese army has deployed about 150,000 troops in two groups to prepare for unforeseen circumstances”. After turning the Coal ships back I believe the China / US relationship considering the amount of trade between the countries. Is of far greater importance to China than continuing to support N / Korea's nuclear advancement by a rogue fool. I would suggest after the Syrian strike. China realizes Trump may take it on himself to decommission North Korea's efforts if he has to. China certainly does not want a war anywhere in their region. It would be detrimental in any respect. From Tourism to simply keeping friendly relations with any of the other US allies. China politics is very trade oriented. Trade provides future growth which is necessary to accomplish their goals as a world leader. The Chinese troop move could be two fold in intention. One to address a possible refugee problem of an exodus of N/K The second They would not wish to see the US over throw N /K and have it become united with the South. So if there was a US land invasion. Those 150,000 troops could be moved into N. Korea as they did in Vietnam keeping it from becoming another US Ally right on their door step. It is possible sometime in the future China may be annex N. Korea like Tibet. Slowly inching out their borders is a lot safer and easier expansion. Than being sprinkled around the globe like a handful of seeds.

China banned all coal imports from North Korea on February 19, at least through the end of 2017 in response to the February 11 test of their new Pukguksong-2 missile over the Sea of Japan. nytimes.com - Coal exports have made up 33% to 40% of North Korea's total exports. China can afford to impose this ban because a global glut of grain, coupled with ruinously low prices, will allow North Korea to avoid mass starvation with huge flows of refugees into China, in spite of greatly restricted export income. Virtually all coal imported into China is bituminous hard coal purchased from low cost mines in Australia located very close to the Port of Newcastle in southern NSW or the three ports in Queensland. The same ports which supply most of the coal to Japan, South Korea and India. These four nations take 87% of Australian coal exports. Metallurgical coal is exported only from eastern US ports making them the least economic coal suppliers to Asia. Coal laborers in 2013 in the North Korean town of Sinuiju, close to Dandong China.
