On contamination of baby formula in China...

It should come as no surprise at all, hearing yet another contamination in the food chain from China. This time, it's contaminated baby formula sold in China.

It's quite sad, since the issues first showed up back in March, reported formally in August, yet the Chinese officials continue to refuse to take actions, until the New Zealand parent of the baby formula company in China discovered the issue and pressed for product recall on the governmental level. If foreigners have not been involved in the issue, no one will take any action in China and more babies will get sick and die.

The same is true for the tainted pet food from China that caused thousands of animal pets die in United States.

Initial reactions from China is always the "No," followed by accusation that Western countries are being condescending and patronizing to China. It's quite true that Chinese these days lack any moral compass, after Chairman Mao and the communist party have so successfully in eliminating these good traits in the Cultural Revolution. The only thing that the bygone generations were thought was, believe in the party. Now that the party fails them, people have nothing to turn to or look up to, but money. A lot of Chinese (particularly those from mainland China, if I might come across as sounding too harsh on them) are like that.

Truth be told, I don't believe in any words coming from China or Chinese authorities (government officials or commercial corporations). They seem to be in lack of shame or guilt.
