AP also tracked the products made by North Korean workers to Canada, Germany and elsewhere in the European Union. Importers or company officials could face criminal charges for using North Korean workers or materially benefiting from their work, according to the law. U.N. sanctions now bar countries from authorizing new work permits for North Korean workers but do not target those already abroad. Although AP saw North Korean workers at Hunchun Dongyang, manager Zhu Qizhen said they don’t hire North Korean workers anymore and refused to give details. “It contradicts everything they are doing.”CdeBaca conceded the North Korean workers might like their jobs.
