From the It supplies 90 per cent of oil to North Korea ... so why is China’s pipeline excluded from UN sanctions? | South China Morning Post

“China probably excluded this pipeline for the same reason that it has insisted on humanitarian or normal economic trade clauses in previous resolutions – both to protect Chinese business interests and to keep the North Korea oil supplies at levels sufficient to ensure that [North Korea’s] society will not break down,” von Hippel said. “The Chinese fear [this] will result in a flood of refugees coming across its border, as well as ... geopolitical chaos.”

EMP will have the same result - society break down, starvation and waves of refugees. Just because the EMP blat itself is ore or less harmless to the civilian populations, doesn't mean it's not going to affect them
