North Korea circulating counterfeit Chinese bills - UPI.com
UPI reports: "North Korea could be counterfeiting Chinese currency and the fake bills
are in circulation in several Chinese cities.
[...] Pyongyang is also using other illegal means, weapons and drug
trafficking, to earn money in Russia and Japan, according to Phoenix.
The Hong Kong television network reported North Korea also has 'world-class' counterfeiting technology capable of manufacturing U.S.
dollars and Japanese yen, in addition to the yuan."
Comment: It appears that China is finally realizing that North Korea is more of a problem child than an ally. Hopefully the latest bought of tantrums from the North will end without sparking conflict.
