• It's unclear how long the suspension will last. A prolonged cut would threaten critical supplies of fuel and force North Korea to find alternatives to its main supplier of diesel and gasoline
• CNPC and the Ministry of Commerce did not respond to requests for comment.
• China's Foreign Ministry declined immediate comment.
• North Korea's embassy in Beijing declined to comment.
• A source with direct knowledge of the matter said CNPC decided to put fuel sales on hold "over the last month or two" and described it as a "commercial decision".
