Did North Korean Babies Die From Chinese Melamine?

by Robert Koehler on October 1, 2008

Merchants trading between China and North Korea say a number of North Korean infants who consumed powdered milk in summer 2005 died, leading to North Korea banning the import of the product.

(HT to reader)

PS: Zenkimchi, meanwhile, is maintaining a list of foods possibly tainted with melamine. A very helpful public service on Joe’s part.

Maybe I should eat an apple instead.

Asked and answered:

That answer is simple. The candlelight vigils are a tool of the pro-Pyongyang far left. They are used against the government and against the Americans, not against North Korea or China or ROK leftists.

The middle and right don’t have candlelight vigils. They have jobs and responsibilities. They also shop, and when they go to the store, they will look for 중국산 on the package and buy something else. That’s their protest.

Check this video out. I didn’t know there are bubbles out in the space when Chinese astronauts walk out in space. LOL.

Can it really be? They wouldn’t dare try, would they?

How about fake space program? The Japanese internet warriors have put up a Chinese hoax theory at Youtubes.

Do water bubbles in space exist? One of the Chinese astronauts that was purported to be in that “space ship” explained that they weren’t water bubbles, they were (get this) – memo papers.
