Wang, 32, and her husband, 35, live in Yubei District of Chongqing. They have a daughter in fourth grade.

The couple, both from big families Air Jordan 6 Shoes For Sale , planned to have another child after the country abolished its one-child policy. But their daughter appeared to be unhappy about the possibility of losing the exclusive love of her parents.

They had made great efforts to persuade the girl, taking every opportunity to emphasize the benefits of having a brother or sister, including helping to share the burden of taking care of them in future.

As their daughter's stance softened, they were surprised to discover a "two-child contract," handwritten by the nine-year-old, waiting for their signature.

The contract between four parties – the father and mother Air Jordan 11 Shoes For Sale , the girl, and her unborn sibling - stipulated that neither parent should be partial to the second child while the elder sister's budget for clothes and food should not be compromised.

The girl said she is not against having a sibling and actually plans to write a 1,000-character education plan based on the subject.

"I will be tolerant to my brother or sister, but I will not help tell a lie," she told the newspaper.

When there aren't many customers to his costume stall by the Yalu River Air Jordan 1 Shoes For Sale , Zhang Dong (pseudonym), a 50-year-old man in Dandong, a city on the China-North Korea border, likes to watch trucks coming and going on the Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge.

"The number of trucks has dropped in recent months," he told the Global Times.

Zhang rents traditional Korean clothes to tourists for photo taking. Like many local residents, Zhang is sensitive about any news related to North Korea.

"I've heard news about the new UN resolution. I think the number of coal trucks may decrease but not for other goods. After all Air Jordan Shoes For Sale , the people there [in North Korea] need food to survive," said Zhang.

In response to Pyongyang's fifth and largest nuclear test in September, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted "the toughest and most comprehensive sanctions" on Wednesday to slash North Korea's coal exports by 60 percent with an annual sales cap of $400.9 million, or 7.5 million metric tons, beginning January 1, 2017 Jordan 5 Shoes For Sale , according to a UN website release.

Zhang told the Global Times that he watched trucks loaded with goods come across the bridge both ways Monday to Friday. "Most of the goods that come from the Chinese side are for North Korea's livelihood. Inspection on some goods, including chemicals, has been tightened and later these goods were banned," Zhang said, adding that he saw trucks with signs of chemicals failing to get past the inspection point.

"Chinese companies in Dandong that used to trade in gold and other minerals with North Korea or offer financial services have suffered losses since March. And news of the sanctions has also hurt North Korea because it relies heavily on coal exports for its economy and livelihood," Jin Qiangyi Jordan 6 Shoes For Sale , director of Yanbian University's Asia Studies Center, told the Global Times.

Several people doing business with North Korea in Dandong confirmed with the Global Times that their businesses, especially coal imports from North Korea, have been severely affected and closed because of the Wednesday sanctions.
