Dytham and partner Astrid Klein, who also run a Tokyo-based architecture firm together, devised the evenings in 2003 as a way of getting to know and share ideas with their professional peers. Three years later, and what at first seemed like a cliquey Tokyo phenomenon is now extending its reach...

North Korea depends heavily upon China, its largest trading partner and strongest ally, to keep its sick economy on life support.
