The images captured from spy satellites were released by the US Department of Treasury, showing over 30 illegal transactions of oil between China and North Korea since October.
The United Nations Security Council had imposed sanctions on North Korea, barring the country from importing natural gas and limiting its import of crude oil after Kim Jong Un regime test-fired ICBMs.
North Korea heavily depends on China to fulfill oil needs and on official records this is the second month China has not supplied oil to the North Korea.
Reacting over the images, China claimed that they were not aware of such happenings. Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Chinese government was enforcing Security Council resolutions to discourage the North Korean regime from its Nuclear and missile projects.
