Anyone Had Chinese Lately?

On FOX news this afternoon they said it hadn't been determined if any or how many of these "used" chopsticks had been exported to the US....They said old Wu never even made any attempt to sterilize or clean these "disposable" chopsticks before he repackaged them and resold them... :roll:

A BEIJING factory recycled used chopsticks and sold up to 100,000 pairs a day without any form of disinfection, a newspaper said today, the latest is a string of food and product safety scares.

Counterfeit, shoddy and dangerous products are widespread in China, whose exports have been rocked in recent months by a spate of safety scandals, ranging from pet food to medicine, tyres, toothpaste and toys.

Officials raided the factory and seized about half a million pairs of recycled disposable bamboo chopsticks and a packaging machine, the Beijing News said.

The owner, identified only by his surname Wu, said he had sold the recycled chopsticks for 0.04 yuan a pair and made an average of about 1000 yuan ($160) a day.

Mr Wu, who had no licence to sell the goods, said he had sold 100,000 pairs a day when business was good.

China, on track to overtake the United States this year as the world's second-largest exporter, lacks a basic food safety law and the manpower to enforce food and drug safety regulations at home or for export. Imports are generally carefully scrutinised.

A lack of business ethics and a spiritual vacuum after China embraced economic reforms in the late 1970s have been blamed for unscrupulous business practices and corruption.

In Guangzhou, capital of booming Guangdong province in south China, Mayor Zhang Guangning vowed to bankrupt serious violators of food and product safety.

The Hong Kong owner of a Guangdong manufacturer at the centre of a recall of Chinese-made toys by Mattel had committed suicide, according to Hong Kong media.

In the latest in a series of tit-for-tat measures, China has accused the United States of exporting substandard soybean shipments to China and requested "effective measures" be taken.

Well they executed the top level Chinese govt guy who took bribes in the selling of the bogus glycerine. I thought that might give some pause to think. But maybe not!

Speaking of Quality Control:

-------------------------------------------------------------

When you have a "I Hate My Job" day, try this:

On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson. Be very sure you get this brand.

When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed. Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair. Open the package and remove the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken.

Now the fun part begins. Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully. You will notice that in small print there is a statement:

Code:
"Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson is personally tested".

Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times, "I am so glad I do not work in the thermometer quality control at Johnson & Johnson."

HAVE A NICE DAY AND REMEMBER, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE WITH A JOB THAT IS MORE OF A PAIN IN THE ARSE THAN YOURS!

:shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And remember when Al Gore told the FFA kids that production agriculture was a dead-end and that we should import our food from foreign countries? I hope he bought bamboo chop sticks lately.

Yep---Part of the overall plan.... The Walmarting of America- that they've almost got accomplished...They've ran all US based industry out of business and they control all manufacturing of so many products that soon they will have no competition--they can then pull the old Walmart trick and ask any price they want...

And its no surprise how they could be cheaper when US business/products have to follow all the safety/enviro/human rights standards-- and China has to do NOTHING...

I'd love to see some court award the whole Walmart or Mattel corporations on a silver platter to some parent of a lead diseased child... :twisted:

I got a kick out of the reaction of one of the daughters when I was telling her about this situation, since she had ate at a Chinese joint in Billings a couple weeks ago-and used chopsticks....
Probably didn't help when I told her old Wu probably at least licked them all clean before repackaging... :wink: :lol: :lol:
