Sanctions not a silver bullet

The US Treasury Department announced sanctions on Tuesday on 16 entities and individuals, mostly Chinese and Russian, for alleged business ties with the nuclear/missile programs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The decision came less than two months after the US Treasury imposed such so-called secondary sanctions on a bank, a shipping company and two individuals from China.
The US Treasury claims that its actions complement United Nations Security Council Resolution 2371 enacted on Aug 5.
