Feds Sanction Chinese Bank Linked To North Korea
WASHINGTON — The Department of Treasury announced Thursday sanctions
against a Chinese bank that has allegedly laundered millions of dollars for
North Korea.
The announcement comes as the Trump administration is seeking to up the
pressure against North Korea as it continues to test missile technology and
after it released an American college student from imprisonment who shortly
died after returning to the U.S.
A statement from Treasury said that the “Bank of Dandong, a Chinese bank”
serves as a “conduit for illicit North Korean financial activity.”
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said this this is a “very significant”
action as it cuts off “millions of dollars” from North Korean leadership.
The sanctions will cut off the bank and individuals associated with it from
the American financial system.
President Trump recently said in a tweet that Chinese efforts to counter
North Korean aggression haven’t worked. Mnuchin, however, stressed at the
press briefing that the sanctions were not directed at China. He said that
“nobody is off limits” when it comes to giving illegal financial
assistance to North Korea.
He compared the sanctions to those against Iran. He said those were “very
effective and that’s what brought them to the table.” | P****R 发帖数: 22479 | 2 《金融时报》美国因朝鲜问题制裁丹东银行
特朗普政府指控一家中资银行帮助朝鲜洗钱并切断了该行与美国金融体系的联系,这一
重大举措旨在说服中国向朝鲜施加更大压力,迫使其放弃导弹和核武计划。
美国财政部把丹东银行(Bank of Dandong)列为一家“存在重要洗钱问题的外国银行”
,还对两位中国公民和一家中国公司实施制裁。
一周前,美国和中国官员在华盛顿会面展开战略对话,美方试图说服中国对朝鲜采取更
多措施。
美国财长史蒂文•姆努钦(Steven Mnuchin)表示,美国正“向全球传递强大信号
,表明我国将毫不犹豫地对支持这个(朝鲜)政权的个人、公司和金融机构采取行动”。
曾经在乔治•W•布什(George W Bush)政府担任白宫高级顾问的韦德宁(
Dennis Wilder)表示,这些举措是一项“重大决定”,已经考虑了一段时间,但由于中
国对此敏感而暂时搁置,中国反对美国所称的二次制裁。
“中国不应对此感到意外,因为特朗普政府已多次表示,如果中国不采取更多措施,关
闭违反联合国安理会(UN Security Council)决议的实体,美国政府将不得不单方面采
取行动,”韦德宁表示,“接下来的问题是,这是会促使中国采取更多措施实施制裁,
还是会导致中国减少在朝鲜问题上的合作?”
曾在奥巴马政府担任最高亚洲事务官员、目前在欧亚集团(Eurasia Group)任职的麦艾
文(Evan Medeiros)表示,特朗普政府正“跨过一个重要的门槛,并向中国表明美方对
朝鲜威胁问题有多么认真”。 |
