WASHINGTON/SEOUL—The United States on Sept. 13 imposed sanctions on a China-based tech firm, its North Korean CEO, and a Russian subsidiary, accusing them of moving illicit funding to North Korea in violation of U.S. sanctions.
The new sanctions target China-based Yanbian Silverstar Network Technology Co., its North Korean chief executive Jong Song Hwa, and a Russian-based sister company, Volasys Silver Star, the U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement.
