Ah, but there are [Chinese Jews](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaifeng_Jews#Today) and [Japanese Jews](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Japan). There may be a few Vietnamese Jews, but data on that is lacking. And, of course, data regarding what’s happening in North Korea is incredibly sparse.
