Output Severely Cut at N. Korea's Best Paper Mill... Party Newspaper May Run out of Paper?
Free North Korea Radio airs a conversation with a woman from Hyesan City
Due to food shortage, workers could not report to work... lumber for paper no longer supplied
As economic crisis in N. Korea worsens, it reportedly affected the operation of 'Factory No. 121,' which produces best quality paper(in N. Korea) and exclusively supplies news print paper for Rodong Shinmun(the party's official daily.)
'Free North Korea Radio,' a short-wave radio broadcast run by N. Korean defectors, posted audio file and its transcript today(Feb. 12,) which contains (phone) conversation with Ms. Chung from Hyesan City, Ryanggang Province. It was recorded on Feb. 10. The radio beams its broadcast into N. Korea and is headed by Kim Sung-min.
In the transcript, Ms. Chung says, "Factory No. 121 in Anju City, which provides news print paper for Rodong Shinmun, failed to secure the supply of lumber from its affiliated forestry enterprises, and their paper production plummeted to one third of the normal output. Workers at forestry enterprise have little to eat, and cannot report to work. After getting only one month salary and one week supply of raw corns on Jan. 1, their food ration stopped."

P!
Just remeber — desperate people (and governments) do desperate things!
A paper cut — I hate those!
Well....they’ll just log on to the internet....like we do..../sarc
The silver lining is that this will reduce the number of counterfeit US100 bills they can produce.
Looks like Obama won’t be able to paper over
his diplomatic failures...
Ruh-roh!
What about t-paper?
“What about t-paper?”
What do you think the newspapers are for, reading? Nobody believes the excrement already printed on them.
"This is the way the world will end...not with a bang but a whimper."
