North Koreans ‘preparing US seafood’

WESTERN consumers could be buying seafood processed and prepared by North Korean workers, an investigation by Associated Press has established. Thousands of people have been sent overseas to earn money for the rogue state, funds which are then used to finance its missile and nuclear weapons programme.

AP says many are working in China, where they are strictly controlled and are paid just a tiny proportion of their wages, with the rest being sent to the North Korean government.

China is a major exporter of seafood products to the US, Canada and Europe, including the UK. Now US politicians are demanding that China turns away North Korean workers.
