| China official: City 'inconsiderate' for publicizing tainted food |
| 2010-03-03 |
| BEIJING (AP) — The discovery in Chinese markets of tons of beans treated with a highly toxic pesticide has prompted an indignant response from an official responsible for the safety of the produce, despite a public outcry over recent food safety scandals. One city's decision to publicize the problem was "inconsiderate of friends," according to Zhou Qingchong, deputy director of the agriculture bureau law enforcement team. Authorities in the central city of Wuhan recently announced it had destroyed 3.5 tons of "yard-long" beans from Sanya that had been treated with isocarbophos, a banned pesticide. Zhou told China National Radio for a report this week that his city and the Ministry of Agriculture had lost face because of the complaint from Wuhan. China finds it more considerate (and less expensive) to poison its own people. |

| #1 Some local CCP Officio(s) gonna be gulagged, or worse. ION, IIRC CHINESE MIL FORUM > [BBC Artic]CHINESE VILLAGE/FARMERS MOVED TO QUENCH URBAN THIRST [ CPC Party-State controlled, pre-planned expansion of local Cities versus agrarian countryside]. HARDWORKING LOYAL, BUT UNEDUCATED CHINESE FARMERS ORDERED BY BEIJING + LOCAL PARTY TO NOT ONLY MOVE FROM TRADITIONAL HOMES, BUT ALSO TO GROW NEW UNPROFITABLE CROPS. IIUC ARTIC > Beijing is giving these rural people NEW MODERN HOMES whose amenities they are NOT [immediately] used to nor know how to operate in near term, + is making them grow new crops which can neither be sold for their family's profit/benefit nor even eaten??? BESIDES FORCING, ORDERING TRADITIONALIST RURAL FARMERS TO BECOME HI-TECH, EDUC FACTORY-INDUSTRIAL-OR-WHITE-COLLAR WORKERS OVERNITE??? |
