Chinese don’t believe cardboard buns scare a hoax
Why does the White House and Congressman Tom Price trust China with trade deals that have very little oversight and the people of China do not trust their own government?
YAHOO-BEIJING (AFP) – Ordinary Chinese are refusing to believe government claims that a recent media report on cardboard-filled buns was a hoax aimed at hyping the nation’s food safety woes, state press said Saturday.
The government’s assertion that the televised report was bogus is being viewed as an attempt by authorities to stem the bad publicity over a series of recent food safety scandals that have caused anger in China and abroad, the official Xinhua news agency said.
“I guess government departments must be hoping to reduce the negative impact on the public by declaring the TV news report a hoax,” Xinhua quoted Chen Huiqin, a retired Shanghai middle school teacher, as saying.
A cab driver, surnamed Liu, said he could not believe the investigative news report aired by Beijing TV on July 8 was a fabrication.
“It’s not just me, most of my customers didn’t believe it was a hoax either,” the report quoted Liu as saying.
The report generated wide national and international attention as the latest in a string of scares involving China-produced foods, including toxic seafood, virus-plagued pigs and chemical-laden toothpaste.
The “expose” purportedly showed a seller of the buns, known as “baozi,” softening shredded cardboard with an industrial chemical and fortifying the bogus meat with a bit of fatty pork.
I tend to believe the report. Also an expose like this shows the world that China still has a somewhat free press, which is a good thing. And “wood cellulose” isn’t the worst thing that someone could add to food these days. If we’re going to have a trade war let’s have it with Mexico not China, n’kay?
This certainly does add another meaning to Chinese Food!

OK – as long as this journalist is executed promptly, the whole thing will go away.
What’s with the spam (No. 4 and 5 above, not the food byproduct)?
