Well, I think that the whole ‘cardboard stuffing dumpling’ story was first made up by the Chinese government (China Daily), then reported as a fake story, just to create a smoke curtain to hide all the worse things that are going on. It would fit the pattern. They learned it from the Stalinist fascists. Mainland China is only driven by bottomless corruption and greed. What we finally get to know of through the media, is only the tip of the iceberg. I still think, and I said this many years ago already, that it will get a lot worse before it ever gets better.

I have gotten the link to the refute story; http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2007-07/20/content-5440679.htm

Also, Chinese rapid military buildup is another worrying sign (it usually spends on its military five times the amount of money US, Britain, and even Russia spend on their militaries) , I think you are smart enough to figure out what the Chinese government wants. Chinese government is currently using Taiwan as an excuse, but the Chinese government has a much bigger prey…after thinking about the rich foreign countries’ resources…
Please, warn as much as foreign governments as possible… let the foreign governments know that business is not more important than safety.

Hi, China Daily has recently announced that the dirty cardboard stuffing dumpling story is fabricated. Please do not ever believe China Daily, there are even worse unimaginable food processing stories in China that have never gotten mentioned. A good example is what all major domestic food factories in China are doing now to compensate for the lack of meat and meat’s rising prices; they bargained with prisons and such institutions that manage dead human bodies for burial to instead send the dead human bodies to the meat factory for food processing. Thereby, solving the problems of input costs and meat supply. Chinese people have been continuously fed dead human meat without knowlegde! Please report this imediately to the foreign governments. Although the Chinese government would try its best to refute and cover up such a hideous truth, please who ever you are do not ever buy into the Chinese government’s coverups and tricks; such as trying to pass qualified foreign imported meat as if the imported meat is from its domestic major meat factories.
I was extremely infuriated when China Daily dared to refute even the dirty cardboard stuffed dumpling story, which is actually not that severe in comparison to the much more serious issue as mass feeding the Chinese people dead human meat.

Hey, you wrote a fabulous article about the current situation in China. As long as you are in Hong Kong you do not need to worry too much about the food poisoning crisis which has in the recent years spread its wings all over China even as far as Tibet. But next time when you come to China, for your safety, I highly recommend you to bring your own water and food supply, yes, the crisis has gotten that bad. And the Chinese government is not really going to do anything about this serious issue either, the Chinese government is only pretending to handle this issue to shut the critics up. Deep inside, the Chinese government actually supports this food poisoning crisis because food poisoning slows and kills brain cells. Therefore most Chinese people would be easier for the Chinese government to control. And what I mean by easier to control is that Chinese government could more easily secure its power and wealth and prolong the period of dramatic wealth disparity between the rich and poor.
China is currently opening an average of four to five power stations and five coal mines a week, therefore I am really not surprised that the whole planet is warming up. (The Chinese media reports two but as you know, the government media always plays the numbers down) Oh, yes the Chinese government regards pollution in the same hypocritical atittude as it regards food poisoning, anything to make the Chinese people stupid enough to stay obedient like cute little puppies.
Outspoken journalists like you hopefully would be willing to report to the foreign embassy and government about such serious crisis within China and take action against such a corrupt hypocritical government.

Yep. And then there was the time when they tried putting a bug inside one my walls at home? They thought they would be clever by drilling down from the floor above right inside my wall. Except that the drill went in at an angle and left a bloody hole in my ceiling.

Dumb idiots. Really, if you want to discover the Fucked Up Gene, look inside the DNA of a Chinese.

I have personal experience with the televisions. Still remember when Mrs. Mariner and myself where watching TV in a hotel in Zhuhai. ‘Maintenance guy’ drops in and says that there is something wrong with the TV, and he has to replace it. Told him to fuck off of course, but they exchanged the TV anyway the next day, when we were away. Just stupid.

I’m just surprised it took them so long to export their “magnificent” system to Hong Kong.

“hotel workmen putting up drapes in my room at odd hours; repairmen “fixing” my not-broken refrigerator and air conditioner”

Another favourite is televisions. I have my own experiences with bugs being placed in my home, but the worst part is the ineptitude of the guys who placed them there – do they really assume I am too stupid to not be suspicious? It’s actually insulting. I always deal with the issue by giving them what they want – lot’s of talk about plots to kill the Chairman etc etc blah blah blah.

Bastards.

Thanks for that article. It makes disconcerting reading.
