China gave lip-service to the sanctions, but satellite footage has shown at-sea transfers of oil to North Korean vessels (in violation of the sanctions) from vessels tied to China.
Trump shot his mouth off about this being proof that China is violating the sanctions (which is likely, but unproven).
In short, anyone who knows how business is done in China knows that if they decide there's money to be made by selling oil to NoKo (and with the sanctions, demand went up), they'll sneak around and do it and then lie about it. Lying isn't just tolerated here in China, it's enshrined as an art form.
