i heard from a beijing taxi driver that he also thinks the story is true, but the government is clamping down for a different reason. and it made a whole lot of sense to me. the bun makers can decide to put cardboard in the buns at any given time. of course when the story broke, these guys aren't dumb. they're not going to keep putting cardboard in the buns. so obviously when the authorities go to investigate, they don't find any cardboard buns. so what they do is, they force the reporter to apologize, wait for the cardboard bun makers to lower their guard and then catch them in the act. Funny how Chinese people and Non-Chinese people see the same story in two different ways. I choose to believe that just because the Chinese government is communist, it isn't inherently evil and trying to feed it's citizens with cardboard buns for the sake of loss face. but that's just me.

Shanghaiist has turned the story into a joke??? I'm not sure what you found so funny in this story Guest #1, so fuck YOU. I thought this story was every bit serious. Why have all the comments here gone so bitchy everyone? Truth be told, Nanheyangrouchuan makes more sense than some of the idiotic and imbecilic commenters around here like the nincompoop above me.

I am exercising my right to say this as a guest beacuse I am embarassed to say this: Shanghaiist F**K YOU. You take what is probably the most important story of the year: FOOD POISONING and you turn it into a joke. Despite this , despite that? Why don't you try the caustic soda experiment yourself instead of acting so damn smug? What have you done for this story except repeat what every other China blog has said with more conviction and insight than you have? Whatever the real conclusion to this issue is, you have contributed nothing but empty conjecture. Lazy lazy lazy.
