CHINA said yesterday that North Korean companies operating in the country will have to shut down by January as Beijing applies UN sanctions imposed following Pyongyang’s sixth nuclear test.
China’s commerce ministry said the companies Women's Jaire Alexander Jersey , including joint ventures with Chinese firms, have 120 days to close from the date the United Nations resolution was adopted on September 11.

The announcement comes days after China confirmed that it will apply another major part of the sanctions — a limit on exports of refined petroleum products to North Korea from Sunday and a ban on textiles from its neighbor.
