Japanese Think Poisoned Dumplings From China Taste Bad

The Chinese shipped poisoned dumplings to Japan and are now lying about it. This is the latest product safety snafu by a country that is desperately trying to polish up their image in time for the olympics. but no matter how hard they try, they can’t hide their hopelessly backwards culture.

Chinese-made dumplings which made 10 people sick in Japan were sabotaged, most probably in Japan, China’s security and quality watchdogs said on Thursday.

No one has died from the poisoned food but the case has prompted frenetic media coverage in Japan following a series of health scares over Chinese products ranging from pet food and toys to toothpaste.

“After comprehensive, careful investigation and tests, we believe there is little chance that methamidophos (a pesticide) was put into dumplings in China,” said Yu, deputy director of the ministry’s criminal investigation bureau.

Japanese police have said that it was highly unlikely that the sabotage happened in Japan, citing the fact that methamidophos was strictly banned there and the packages of some of the problematic dumplings remained intact.

I mentioned what a danger it was to eat Chinese dumplings in a post here. So I think the Chinese are lying.
