Today, China's Premier Wen Jiabo promised to improve Chinese food safety. While at the World Economic Forum, Wen said, "We plan not only to revitalize the food industry and the milk powder industry, we will try to ensure that all China-made products are safe for consumers and consumers can buy with assurance."
So far, over 50,000 children have been made ill by the milk they are distributing. Melamine, used to make plastics and fertilizer, has been found in the milk powder and was linked to kidney stones in children. Melamine, if you recall, was found in the pet food they distributed last year, resulting in hundreds of animal deaths. It was found out that adding melamine was a normal practice for them. It was added to fake higher protein levels. As a matter of fact, they've added melamine to quite a few products meant for consumption.
Melamine was used to make these plastic cups, plates and bowls.
"When this kind of problem of food safety occurs, we do not cover it up," Premier Jiabo said. "We face it candidly and have taken bold moves to address it. I think this has laid a good foundation for resolving problems."
Oh yeah? I don't think so. Your country has been quite good at covering that issue up and more. You can go on the internet and find many eye opening examples.
Can you imagine if this happened in the US? The class action suits that would already be filed?
You would think that modern day China could afford better testing equipment. They can afford to spend over 41 billion on big Olympic stadiums, big Olympic celebration whoopity doo's and so on. Why not fork over some money on equipment that will ultimately save lives? And why you're at it, adopt stricter measures and techniques when it comes to food inspection. Such as: Not putting melamine in all the food you produce. It's not meant for food, you fucking morons.
And give your people Human Rights, too.
Stop disgracing yourselves in front of the rest of the world.

Great post, but unfortunately we have the master of disgracing his country and the master of the cover up right here. Isn't it convenient that these are both the same person (but who will fortunately be leaving office 1/20/09)?
The sooner they all kill themselves the better! It saves me from doing it!!
Good post. China is run by a bunch of corrupt, amoral liars. They might even be worse than the U.S.
It's going to be interesting to see what happens between the U.S. and China.
I read an article recently, about how China's demand for goods is going to skyrocket within the next generation. The average chinese family is currently mom, dad, and one kid. In most families both parents work, so when those kids grow up, there's going to be a millions of chinese couples with extra money. They're going to want to buy crap. They're going to want to travel more. They're going to want more oil/energy. Competition for resources will be turned up another notch. If the U.S. doesn't end up in a military war with china, we'll at least be in an economic one.
And we all know which country is headed towards economic superiority right now :)
King Al: That's true. Bush is the Master of Disgrace. It's too bad we can't do something for him before he leaves office. Like stake him down, naked, in the middle of nowhere near a nest of fire ants.
Damo: Gosh, such aggression. Can't we all just walk along in the path of peace and goodwill toward men--like me (heh heh)
J.Alden Page: Good comment. I believe what you say is true.
Yes, China will progressively demand more and more. Just as we have been for decades. Since recources are dwindling, there will no doubt be a war.
But with the way things are headed (financially) for the U.S., we may be defeated without a single shot being fired.
BTW, good to hear from you again. It's been awhile.
I for once am not looking forward to a war with china, theres too many of them, and there so small!
i mean standing in at 6'3' i'm screwed!

See you around!
Thanks Adam. Yeah, I thought maybe you were taking a permanent leave from BrutalInsanity. Good to hear you're back.
Yeah, you'd be a giant among them at 6'3". I think the average height for them is about 5 feet.
I'll look up that link and your site, as well, now that I know you're back.
Much of our food comes from China too! Know any excellent class action attorneys?
Sissy- I didn't know a lot of our food comes from China. Hmmm. Well, that's not good. I did find a suspicious looking hair (it was kinked) in my food at a Chinese restaurant once, not long ago. I posted a story about it.
I have to say NO to your question on class action attorneys. :) But that's a good question. haha. Take care.
