Four Chinese nationals and the Chinese company they worked for have been indicted for evading U.S. sanctions designed to prevent North Korea from developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said on July 23.

Ma Xiaohong, her company Dandong Hongxiang Industrial Development Co., and its three managers were charged by a federal grand jury on July 22 in Newark, New Jersey, with sanctions violations, conspiracy to violate sanctions and defraud the United States, and conspiracy to launder money.
