Hazards in China

Was on my way back from lunch. News on YES 933. There is a worker in China who was hospitalize, he 吐血 after drinking some mineral water. He was lucky that he came in quick if not confirm 死翘翘. The family members trying to prove to the doctors, let a live chicken drink the water. Well, 事实胜于雄辩, the chicken 当场丧命 !!!

In recent months, news of fake foods and other items in China is getting its headlines attention. From milk powder, distilled/mineral water, fake buns, and more which I could not remember. The recent one will be the recall of millions of Mattel toys produced in China. In which all of them contained a high amount of lead content, which can lead to inhibition of growth in kids.

Saw a news clip on TV showing some China spokesman "trying" to 大事化小 小事化无. His unapologetic tone and speech did not impress any all. In addition, attempting to site this as a small % of problematic incidents as inevitable.

天理不容 !!!

It is inevitable that some small companies tries to bend rules and controls to maximize profits that leads to using of illegal materials in producing items. But it is not inevitable that such incidents happened !!!

There was another clip on TV. Interviewing some Cina in China after the mattel incident in which a woman confidently said she still thinks it is safe and more important she believes her kids is old enough not to put the toys in their mouths. *Faint*

How about the media guy who fake the fake buns news ? But now who knows which is fake ? The news or the buns ?

It is almost impossible to re-establish a fallen brand. People are still believing that goods made in Japan are still of a superior quality, to an extent it has become a psychological confidence.

People still wear Nike even it is made in China, Vietnam and SA countries nowadays. The brand has surpassed most other factors.

So if the "Made in China" brands is tarnished real bad ....
