chuckwoww Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Feel better now? BEIJING - A freelance reporter for a Beijing television station has been detained for faking a hidden camera report about street vendors who used chemical-soaked cardboard to fill meat buns, local media said. The report came amid real food scares involving toxic fish, tainted pork and egg yolks colored with a cancer-causing dye that have harmed China's reputation as an exporter and alarmed people at home. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070719/ap_on_re_as/china_cardboard_buns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderlust Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Probably a damage limitation exercise by the Chinese government after the story was widely reported internationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YimSiam Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 well if they hang the reporter that will prove the story was phony OC Please, don't be absurd! They'd never hang the reporter - they don't hang people in China, they either shoot them in the back of the head with one bullet (which the family must then pay for to reduce the cost to the State...), or they more recently have started to inject. Not to mention the fact that they don't actually have to kill the real reporter - they can just grab a guy of the street who looks like a reporter, torture or trick him into signing a false statement, and then run footage of him being taken out to be shot...

Neo Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 I seriously doubt you could get cardboard to turn out the same texture as pork. Sounds like a new episode for mythbusters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I seriously doubt you could get cardboard to turn out the same texture as pork. Sounds like a new episode for mythbusters. Don't know about that: my girlfriend can make pork taste like cardboard with no effort at all, shouldn't the converse be true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
