Tracking a Possible Chinese Export Scandal

After Swedish TV shown a program where Chinese workers pulling feather off live geese, Swedish, and many European consumers started a campaign to boycott Chinese down-filled goods. May be Europeans prefer those geese were killed first ? Which is more humane: kill them or feather them live ? It is less costly for the producer by feathering them live (so that they can grow back another layer for feathering later). If they can shear wool off sheep, why don’t they cut the feather instead of pulling them out.

There is another scientific break through in China.

The discontent of Chinese against Japan for not apologize daily for atrocities committed by Japanese during the WWII. China has found a way to send mercury vapors in the atmosphere to Japan for obvious purpose. This method is really ingenious. We all know that Chinese are immune to heavy metal contamination. This is why they can thrive in heavily contaminated environs without any observable negative effects, like lower birthrates, etc. And mercury vapor in low concentration is invisible, odorless, colorless, and just well mixed in in the air people breath. Therefore this is a great way to teach Japanese a lesson without harming Chinese with wonderful deniability that will be demonstrated in following posts from Chinese readers here.

When will Chinese raise hell against Parade ? In this article, they did not put China as Number One !!!

Boycott Parade !! Flood them with email to voice your anger !!

The Chinese government has given us another opportunity to sing our praises about how clever these people are.

The Land Administration Law modified recently granting 70 year right to home owners on the land their home was built. It was silent on what happen when this 70 year permit expires. Now it is modified with a clause that granted the local government to impose whatever they feel as “appropriate”, creating a wonderful opportunity to create wealth for those in position to impose “appropriate” rules, making rules like: “pay up this much and thank you very much”, “Your land is now sold to my cousin. Now get out.” and other great creative land development initiatives legal, and all done according to the law from central.

That’s is a 70 year plan. If the local governments are smart, they can modify this 70 year cycle in a staggered way so that the cash flow can be harmonized to a steady flow. May be a land rent regime is more appropriate to enable a steady annual income.

This is a very smart way to ensure income for future generations.

You fellows need to be following my blog, http://rudenoon.com.absalletc/ I’ve been reporting on this from Tianjin for the last two-and-half months, and have not been able to get any of the news folks around these parts to work up the least bit of interest in this story. Knauf Tianjin is at the center of it. They’re my neighbors. Now what are the chances that the problem exported drywall is also a domestic problem? Hmmm. Probably pretty high. Go and have a look at my blog and click on the drywall category. No one else has been doing anything here, except Sina,com who railed about the US making noise about another Chinese product and then just blew it off.

rudonoon: It helps if you have the right url.

Check out the BBC documentary “Allergy Planet” for interesting stories about why people in the industrilized world are becoming increasely senstive to everything:

It’s midnight, and way past my bed time. Try this.

Do they offer degree programs for these stuff:

In other countries, these are taught by parents and kindergartens. China has elevated the skill and theory to a much higher level.

On another note, I think Austin’s title for this piece is somewhat, as he himself put it, provocative. If that’s the purpose, then leave it.

What I read from this report from Miami, however, is a bad-luck woman who was looking for a big house with a low price has paid an unexpected price.

My sympathy to Ms. Beck.

But who is to blame in this unfortunate episode?

The Chinese manufactor? the Chinese government? the Germany drywall supplier? the Germany government? the Miami home builder who built the house for Ms. Beck? the US government? or Ms. Beck herself?

There is a long list of participants between the people who made these drywalls and Ms. Beck. This beautiful long list, makes up the chain of globalization, which was initiated by the big-moneys in the United States or perhaps the west in general not too long ago.

The people who are on this beautiful long list are somewhat linked by one of the darkest side of human nature — greed, which, could be somewhat simplified as to get more for less.

In this regard, perhaps the last people we should point our figures to is the people who have no choice but risking their own lives producing these toxic drywalls in order to make a penny for a pitty living.

“But who is to blame in this unfortunate episode? ”

I am sure it is the retailer, the distributor, if not the consumer’s fault. The Chinese government has clearly declared that the importers of Chinese goods are responsible for quality of the product. Therefore, it ain’t the Chinese manufacturer, the Chinese government, the Chinese distributor. It is the importer, down stream. And what is worse, the western people has developed such sensitivity to anything contaminated. It is their own fault.

Therefore, the west must continue to import from China so that they won’t hurt Chinese people’s feeling, and not be accused of protectionism by the Chinese government. They have to find a way to fix their sensitivity to contamination themselves, and be less greedy. It is clearly their problem.

Importers in the west must keep on importing. If you can’t find any consumer, that’s your problem. Tough luck.

Great news in China’s anti-corruption campaign !!
There were 33 county level officials fired in one year in one city. This is great result.

The question is: how many were not found, and how many were found but not fired ?

I am quite sure the answer is zero. If you don’t believe that, ask any Chinese posters here.

Don’t be so picky! The woman should be proud she, unlike millions of American homeowners and ever growing homeless like Johnsmith, still can afford reparing her rotten air-con as old as NYC subway, though with cheapest made-in-China materials, at this life-death moment in US short history when every Yanks owes China $2300 or $600 to each Chinese. Damn I hate the ungrateful people, lol!

homeless ? In America ? Me ? That’s new. laohong still can’t find anything wrong with what I wrote and continue to make up lies and calling names, as usual.

If Chinese don’t want to lend money to the US, why not just sell all your US Treasury bills, if you know what they are, and can recognize them when a ton of them hits you in your face. Japan owns a lot more than China, but the Chinese government won’t tell you.

The Chinese government is suggesting the world to set up a global currency. I think China should just suggest everyone to use RMB as global trade currency instead. China should start demonstrating their confidence in RMB by selling all US dollar assets and by RMB assets. China should also insist to all its international trade partners that China will only accept RMB for settling any trade transactions, forcing the world to us RMB instead of the US dollar. I just wonder why China suggest anything otherwise, unless they don’t have any confidence in RMB.

To johnsmith
–”Japan owns a lot more than China, but the Chinese government won’t tell you” the truth.
I’d better check and search to see if it is US governemnt or Chinese which wont tell you the truth, or you simply refuse to accept the truth.
“A lot more”, lol!

Chinese products? Now we just care what without toxins, instead of what with toxins, because the toxic are far more than the nontoxic!

John, Thanks for recommendation! I were so excited when I saw our great leader Chairman Hu is on the honor roll:

conscienceinchina: But I am really disappointed that Hu is not leading the Parade. China has earned to be at the top of the list, just like any other lists – richest country, most productive, most innovative, most competitive, most anything.. With 1.3 billion people, it should be at the top of at least 1.3 billion lists.

To conscienceinchina boy,
–”I were so excited when I saw our great leader Chairman Hu is on the honor roll”?
I guess you got more excited when you would see Johnsmith in person.
You are not mature enough to properly show your emotion, which will sure make you “feel hurt easily”, like many Chinese, lol!
When you grow up and whenever thinking of your post today, you will not dare to switch on the light at nite, only to see your flushing face.

to johnsmith

—”Chinese government is suggesting the world to set up a global currency….suggest everyone to use RMB as global trade currency.”?
Chinese is not alone, but never suggested the world to use RMB, though RMB is hard money while US dollar is just a IOU printed freely by Federal Reserve which is neither a reserve nor a bank but privately owned bunch of gangsters.
I dont think you are smart enough to know “SDR”. That is what China is now suggesting. But why enlighten you, if you could not give more milk.

To the five-jiao(五毛) “laohong”:

1.“I guess you got more excited when you would see Johnsmith in person.” (“laohong” says)

— You are right! I will surely get excited when I meet a talent such as John smith. Yet we would get much more cheerful if we could see you and your comrades “in person”, meaning that you five-jiaos, who are typically underground, should be winkled out by people and be exposed under the sunshine!

2. “You are not mature enough to properly show your emotion…” (“laohong” says)

—Yeah! Therefore I admire you for your maturation that I really lack. You “was fighting for democracy some 30 years ago in China”(“laohong says”), so you must be “mature” on your body; Then you gave in to the CCP and finally became an undergrounder, you got “mature ” from your experiences; Your master CCP maintains its rule by violence and lies, and you are the tool of lying, who is always “saying blind words while opening eyes(睁眼说瞎话) without flushing and abnormal heart beating(脸不红心不跳)”, so you are absolutely “mature” on your psychology.

3. “you will not dare to switch on the light at nite, only to see your flushing face.”(“laohong says”)
—Ha-ha-ha-ah! Your words are obviously lack of power. If a undergrounder don’t fear the light, who fear? If a conscience-seller isn’t “flushing”, who is?

Well, Johnsmith will sure allowed you to be excited, boy. But be sure to wear some flowers on your head when meeting a talent, OK? Such an idiot, hahaha!
