China increases its exports to North Korea

China’s exports to North Korea rose 46.3% in October from the previous month, with products including rice, sugar, textile material and tobacco being the main exports, Chinese customs data showed on Sunday.

Among other products, imports of other COVID-19 protection goods decreased, such as masks and thermometers. North Korea has not confirmed how many people have been infected with COVID, apparently because they do not have the means to test.
