Today I will be throwing out all of my dairy products. The melamine milk scandal just continues to spiral deeper and deeper into trouble. Not long after I posted about melamine in milk and yogurt products, I went on a rampant search to find what exactly those “eight out of 30 [Yili] products” were. I searched English news websites, Chinese news websites, the Chinese Ministry of Health website, all to no avail.
But then all of Hong Kong’s supermarkets started to recall all of Yili’s products. When precautions made on behalf of a government are that intense, something’s gotta be up.
I have to wonder, why does China not take preemptive measures so that events like this don’t have to happen? It is only when it it’s too late (i.e., people die, are hospitalized, etc.) that the government takes action. Talk about losing face. But that’s how China works, and something tells me that unless major government reforms are implemented, it’ll stay this way.
