Company selling likely sanctioned machinery joins North Korea-China trade fair

Addition comes after different firm threatened legal action against organizers for using name without authorization

An initial NK News review of the event when it began earlier this month found just 10 Chinese and 12 North Korean companies were participating in the part online, part in-person trade fair. Since then, organizers have updated the site to include several newcomers, including the China-based Crown Tools.
