The seizure of the clothing may be part of China\u2019s attempts to adhere to the UN resolution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the source, the total value of the seized clothing was approximately RMB 20 million (around USD 2,816,749).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Unha Textile Factory was likely desperate to sell off its stock and recklessly attempted to smuggle the clothes into China, the source speculated. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily NK reported on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/north-korean-textile-factories-facing-operational-difficulties\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">June 4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that factories manufacturing clothing for export under the umbrella of the Unha Trading Bureau &#8211; which mainly fulfill clothing orders consigned from China &#8211; were experiencing financial difficulties because they were unable move goods across the Sino-North Korean border.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Unha Textile Factory has not yet received money from its Chinese client for the clothes, the source said.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe ultimate client for the seized clothing was actually a South Korean company,\u201d the source told Daily NK. \u201cSouth Korean companies typically pay after they check the condition of the goods they have received.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indeed, some Chinese factories maximize their profits by covertly subcontracting their work to North Korean companies to save on labor costs. Some of these Chinese companies sign contract manufacturing deals with South Korean clothing companies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source explained that the clothing recently seized by the Chinese police had been manufactured by a Chinese firm for an unspecified South Korean clothing company. The South Korean company had reportedly planned to sell the clothes during the upcoming winter season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chinese company agreed to pay a portion of the money [they received from South Korean clothing company] to the Unha Textile Factory to help pay for labor costs,\u201d the source continued. \u201cThe factory no longer will receive that money because all the clothes were seized.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source further reported that the North Korean manager in charge of supplying the clothes to the Chinese trader had vanished after the seizure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe Unha Textile Factory earns foreign currency for the Workers\u2019 Party of Korea, which means that if any issues arise he would face harsh punishment,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Korean exports to China have fallen drastically since the Sino-North Korean border was closed in late January.
