China decided to provide food assistance to Pyeongyang after President Xi Jinping's visit to the regime in June.
That's according to Tokyo-based Asahi Shimbun on Tuesday, citing Seoul's government officials and North Korea-China traders.
After the summit in June, Beijing decided to send1 million tons of food aid, including corn and 800-thousand tons of rice.
Thanks to that temporary relief, the paper suggested the North might behave even harsher towards the South.
Seoul had offered to provide 50-thousand tons of rice via UN's World Food Programme, but the Pyeongyang rejected it citing the joint military exercise with the U.S.
