melamine melamine why are you everywhere!
today i decided to wiki
melamine instead of leaving my knowledge to
三聚氰胺 and that the process that is exploited by those evil manufactures to be on the basis of 氮 in the food.
so 三聚氰胺 is melamine:
which as you can see has a lot of Nitrogen atoms.. like, a lot a lot.
in the test for the protein content of foods, the authorities actually just test for Nitrogen content (which is
氮 )
and because usually only amino acids and proteins contain Nitrogen. (in the realm of edible stuff)
so this loophole was exploited. causing many babies death in China..
and many more in Taiwan, HongKong.. I actually believe the no. of death in China to be under reported. call me biased, but i have many historical cases to back me up.
SARS and all that..
I'm NOT biased against China Chinese.
I think I can say that I interact and am familiar with the culture than many Singaporeans.
But this is.. this is.. ULTIMATE (just to imitate Chieh when she sees something out of the world)
If they have bad manufacturers then I sincerely think that the government should do more and stop shaking legs, or whatever things they do.
There are things that work better than capital punishment and have longer social impacts on the country. Learn from other countires, have you not examples aplenty?!?!
Being a strong nation does not equal to being able in all things.
三人行必有我师
Maybe the China government and manufacturers can consider LEARNING to do things the right way from OTHER COUNTRIES.
and stop thinking that reputation is important and keep things under wraps until they can't hide it anymore.
such behaviour has caused much death worldwide.
should they have reported honestly the SARS situation, the spread could well have been curbed at home. It's not about National Pride. It's about LIVES.
Maybe they think that those who died secretly because of National Pride would be proud to die in such a fashion. and the family members will shed tears of joy knowing that their parent/child/brother/buddy has died honorably for the country!
wrap wrap wrap until cannot. then BOOM burst out.
kill many people.
Never mind, at least we tried to protect our National Pride.. especially after our fireworks display at the Olympics right..
I apologise for any Chinese Nationals that feel offended by this post.
It is a criticism of the system and mentality that is shown in the pattern of Chinese National Crisis Management. Not the people, not the culture.
It is obvious from the start of the post that I watch Chinese news more than English news. And I love China too, in many ways.. one of them being the (lack of) intellectual property laws.
