On Chinese counterfeit glycerin that kills many...

It's disgusting to read about http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/06/world/americas/06poison.html?pagewanted=all in which some Chinese can engage in such immoral act of using industrial chemical as glycerin that they all know too well that it'll be used in drugs. And all for boosting the profit some.

Some say, the Cultural Revolution that Chairman Mao delivered China had achieved one of the many effects of destroying the morality in ordinary Chinese. There is some truth in it; else, how could one explain such immoral acts, like this, and others like adding chemicals that you wouldn't even dream of in all sorts of products, like baby formula and even salt.

There are countries poorer than China, and there are countries that do manufacturing. But nowhere do I see counterfeiting being achieved in such grand, all-encompassing, and immoral fashion.

And to hear that the Chinese government agencies passing the buck, it's just completely beyond me. In the ancient days in China, rural denizens who were wronged greatly would have to brave the thousands of impossible and impassable miles to the capital to petition to the emperor for some justice, any justice. Does the modern China which is supposed to be the powerhouse of the 21st century, have to go through the same ancient way to seek justice and to prevent future mishap awaiting to happen?

It's totally disgusting...
