Tainted Milkpowder or Character
Over the last several days, news reports about babies in mainland suffering from illness caused by tainted milk. One of the culprits was the addition of melamine into the milk powder to boost protein. This is not the first time that tainted milk powder had occurred. Not only that, other unscrupulous practices had arisen resulting in the loss of innocent lives, let alone fraudulent deeds that cause embarrassment to the people of China.
One wonders how widespread these problems are. Furthermore, surely the Chinese government with its intelligence and ability to infiltrate networks and sensitive data, could easily crack down on these scandalous events.
It is unfortunate that these charlatans, tempted by quick-rich strategies, could not be bothered with human lives. It shouldn’t come as a surprise for in communism, there is a disbelief in the supernatural or Supreme Being, consequently the fear of God isn’t’ there, and what’s more human beings are just highly evolved, ahem, animal. So when animal instincts kick in – the survival of the fittest, one shouldn’t blame these wicked people, should we?
These myopic actions not only scandalizes China itself, it also tarnish the reputation of the country. Nowadays people view Chinese products with suspect. It is no longer an issue that it is cheap but cheaper at what costs? Chemical poisoning? Inferior products and cheats? The Chinese government would be wise to execute these criminals swiftly to serve as deterrents to these acts of inhumane acts.
Years ago, after the WWII, Japanese products were viewed as cheap products with low quality. However with much diligence and work ethics, the Japanese silenced the critics and won admirers all over the world. Today, Japanese products are not viewed as inferior quality things but high quality and excellent craftsmanship. What a wonderful testimony to its people! Mainland Chinese would do well to take a leaf from Asian history and learn to improve their work ethics. Hard working is not an issue but ethical? That’s another whole different enchilada.
