Late Night Ignoring Asia

North Korea writes an editorial

Defense Forces" and the U.S. forces in Japan to cope with the "possibility of guerrilla and special units' actions accompanied by "missile attack".
This is a provocative claim negating the root cause of the escalating regional tension. It is nothing but a broad hoax of Japan to justify its moves to turn it into a military giant which have gone beyond the danger line.
The escalating tension on the Korean Peninsula and other parts in the region is mainly attributable to the U.S. persistent hostile policy toward the DPRK and its military build-up in the region.
Recently the U.S. has worked hard to disturb all conditions and environment for the DPRK's peaceful economic construction and its efforts to improve the people's living standard, a vivid expression of the former's hostile policy toward the latter.

A whole of paranoia ensues 

Japanese political party leader cautions

TOKYO —

Natsuo Yamaguchi, who heads the New Komeito Party, on Monday cautioned cabinet ministers about making controversial remarks. The New Komeito Party is the junior coalition partner of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
Yamaguchi made the remarks in reference to last week’s controversy over comments by Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso on Nazi Germany.

I can't believe it isn't food

Think of the most gut-wrenching fake food scandals in the past decade, and what probably springs to mind is the melamine-tainted milk or contaminated meat scares that have marred China’s food industry.

But there’s even more.

Here’s a quick roundup of the nine most notorious food-related incidents reported in the most populous country in the world:

1.) Cardboard Meat Stuffed in Steamed Buns

What better way is there to cut production costs than to use cardboard in lieu of genuine meat? In this undated photo, the cardboard cuts are soaked in caustic soda, chopped into shreds, and drizzled with spices and pork flavoring.

This process may sound plausible, but in 2007, state-owned China Daily reported the arrest of a television reporter in Beijing for releasing allegedly false reports that an unlicensed food store was selling these cardboard-stuffed steamed buns.

To date, no supporting reports have confirmed that such practice exists in Chinese markets.

It tastes just like real imitation food
