China has told North Korean companies operating in its territory to close down as it implements United Nations sanctions against the reclusive state.

The companies will be shut by early January. Joint Chinese and North Korean ventures will also be forced to close.

China, Pyongyang's only major ally, has already banned textile trade and limited oil exports.

The move is part of an international response to North Korea's sixth and most powerful nuclear test.

The UN Security Council, of which China is a member, voted unanimously for fresh sanctions on 11 September.

China's commerce ministry said it had set a deadline of 120 days from the passing of the resolution for any North Korean companies within its borders to close.

    This nation is one of the longest lived nations on earth, with history and traditions that go back 5000 years or more.

    Patently bullshit, as China has unified and fractured multiple times throughout history. The current Chinese nation as we know it is less than 100 years old.
    You could say pretty much the same thing about Europe.

    Two words.

    Dark. Ages.

    European nations have no thousands-of-years continuity. Europe does little better than nations of "The Dark Continent".

    Note that no one said anything about "government". The country, the people, have existed for thousands of years.
