Footnote 58 (p. 37) of the UN Panel of Experts June 2013 report states: "Many Member States implementing sanctions use the spelling “Ryongbong” interchangeably with “Ryonbong” to refer to Korea Ryonbong General Corporation, although “Ryongbong” is not a listed alias for Ryonbong, and in Korean the spelling of these two names is different. The substitution of one spelling for another also frequently occurs in press articles." According to Paragraph 162 (p. 57) of the UN Panel of Experts February 2016 report, the alias Lyongaksan General Trading Corporation has Chinese regional branches in Zhuhai, Dandong, Ji'an, Linjiang and Tumen.
