On July 5th, a day after bbqs and ignite fireworks and wave flags made in China day in the U.S. (formally known as American Independence Day) CNN did a quick little report on PD Notebook and Mad Cow in South Korea.

Interesting clip!

Tokyo and Beijing don’t only employ natives (one of the other I assume Korean reporters also is in China, Mike Chinoy, the Tokyo one is not Japanese I believe as well), but Sohn Ji-ae has for what I can remember been the only one in Seoul and never changes.

July 4th is not just an American holiday. North Korea also celebrated it last year by launching missiles and this year, Iran.

If so, does CNN (or whatever her employer is) know?
