Video: Anxious parents queue up to return poisoned infant milk powder

No it is not the NZ company to blame

It is Sanlu, they are blamed for their greed, corruption, irresponsibility.

I would think that the Danone Wahaha fiasco would have shown you by now that international JV partners are not able to control the business decisions of their partners in China. An international partner can be aware of a problem and still be powerless to stop it. So if the NZ company has taken measures to head off the problem, and the Chinese company has not heeded them, how can you blame the NZ company?

To nanheyangrouchuan boy,

Your joke made my humourless dog laughing.

I feel no surprised to hear the insane comment from the one obviously breast-fed by a retard. I presume even poisoned Sanlu milk powder could've made you bit smarter. Your imbecile ancestor must be gratefull to Nazi which spared him from gas-chamber.

"No matter who control what, all JV partners will take equal obligation according to the right."

The Chinese partner has management control and therefore ultimate responsibility. Now we know that the NZ gov't warned China. China is derelict garbage from man's past and should be immediately and permanently deconstructed. The independent nation of Taiwan, superior to filthy and broken China in all categories, can carry the culture into the future.

China is a destructive plague on humanity.

LOOK HERE

The spokesman of the NZ group has shed some light

"New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark said her government learned of the contamination problem on September 5, then three days later decided to inform Beijing after local Chinese officials refused to act."

"Fonterra had "been trying for weeks to get official recall and the local authorities in China would not do it", Ms Clark told TVNZ."

"He said Fonterra had known of the contamination in early August and wanted an immediate recall but that Sanlu had had to abide by Chinese rules."

WHY WHY WHY WHY . WHY DID THEY REFUSE TO ACT ? IN THE NAME OF PROFITS ? WHY ? OMG PLEASE THE PEOPLE NEED AN EXPLANATION, NOT SCAPEGOATS AND PUSHING THE BLAMES TO THE OTHER PEOPLE.

As I am typing this, I want to break down into tears, my heart goes out to the babies, they are innocent, they have not done anything wrong and now two of them died, why did the chines officials have to do this ? do they want to see another generation of this country disappear .

I always thought officials are there to serve the people, but my view about the Chinese authority have all changed.

To snowisred,

I am as sad and angry as you.

But your two post contradicted.

First one you meant the responsibility should be taken by local authority while on second one you blamed the "central government to local authority".

I think as following:

No matter who, government officials at any levels, corporate and share-holding managing personels of any nationalities and cow-farmers who even only sold one bucket to Sanlu, should be all harshly punished, and even shot, with their organs harvested for transplant tourists from countries where the capital punishment are banned.

---"In any JV deal in China, the Chinese partner takes all of the technology, control of operations and foreign partner basically hopes to get its full percentage of the profit".

No matter who control what, all JV partners will take equal obligation according to the right. Fonterra's 43% equity share doesnt only mean counting 43% divident at year end but also the responsibility of the debt owned, including blood debted owed to the poisoned babies, which can be proven by a fact that in case of a bankrupcy, Fonterra's chare cannot escape liquidation only by declaring innocent.

While Chinese government will dig deep in the scandal, west critisism will gradually and hypocrately die down soon because of an involvement of foreign partner in it, like the case of Baxter heparin when West media suddenly shut up since they realized the manufacturing plant in China were majority-owned by an American corp.

You must be milked by pig, of varied colours, if you are so ignorant of that.

Sometimes I cannot help to think what have the Chinese people done so that the government is treating the Chinese people like this, from central government to local authority. Sometimes I ask myself, do those officials even consider themselves Chinese ? Do they actually sometimes stop and think that because of their greed and negligence, many lives are lost everyday. Did they ever try to put themselves into the situation of the family of the dead one ? I know that many Chinese officials don't have to worry about poverty, consuming substandard products, so they don't care and just keep on neglecting.Scandals after scandals, I know that business people also bear responsibility, to boost up their profits, that's somehow human nature, but if the authority take the quality control seriously, educate the mass and STOP taking BRIBES, that would be enough for me.

To Eastman,

while I don't agree with people badmouthing our country like that but I don't agree with you here.

The Chinese government would not have to take things too seriously now if they just took the quality control more seriously at the first place by enforcing the laws and fully check up the local authority.

Right now I am very angry with the government, do you know Shanxi, where the landslide that happened and killed 256 people, it was discovered that the local governor neglected the operation of the illegal mining company, and as a result of that disaster happened, and what happen to that governor, he was just simply dismissed, that's it , just dismissed and some new person was put in place. I mean c'mon fucking hilarious, fucking crazy, fucking unjust, 256 people died because of his negligence and he was just SIMPLY DISMISSED ? no trial ? no nothing ? FUCKING BASTARD.

@leastman

As in any JV deal in China, the Chinese partner takes all of the technology, control of operations and the foreign partner basically hopes to get its full percentage of the profit.

China sucks.

To nanheyangrouchuan

I don't think you would’ve called it "milk poisoning China" if you had been smart enough to know early enough a fact that Sanlu is a Sino-New Zealand joint-venture. I’d love to demand New Zealand government and Fonterra to take 43% responsiblelity to this inhuman collective corp crime.

Just pay your idiotic attention to this sentence:

---"Mr Billot says that even the Chinese Government seems to have taken a stronger stance on the issue than the New Zealand Government".

EXPOSING THE FUCKERS

1) Sanlu received complaints as early as March and company tests in August found that the milk powder contained melamine, a chemical used in plastics that is banned in food products

2) However, the company for a long time didn't report it to the government nor did it reveal the information to the public.

3)A New Zealand dairy firm that owns 43 percent of Sanlu Group said yesterday it had urged the company to recall the product as long as six weeks ago.

4)Fonterra Co-operative Group said it told the Sanlu board to seek a full recall of the milk powder on August 2, the day the board was notified of the problem.

5)A Fonterra spokesman in New Zealand said its three directors on the Sanlu board had been pressing other board members to take action since the scam was first identified.

Will Sanlu sons of bitches be executed ? I pray for their execution. if I have a wish, I will wish that they will be executed straight away.

As usual, no apology , no compensations.

You need to try harder on the delivery nanheyangrouchuan.

If China was such a wealthy and developed country it would be able to create a Women/Infants/Children program to get good food to expecting mothers, especially those in poor areas instead of dumping money into another manned space launch. Guess the peasants are still very expendable.

Bad, dirty, milk poisoning China.

While I'm very much for better quality control in milk powder, there really should be a health initiative to keep mothers in China breastfeeding. Breast milk is well known to be much better for babies than any kind of milk powder, melanine-laden or no.

But if Sanlu conducted its own quality check then those milks would not be sold at the first place. No wonder people in Shanghai hate sanlu, most people in Shanghai think of sanlu as low end, cheap and not worth buying, sanlu has been suffering bad sales for years in big cities especially shanghai. Good for the fuckers, best to revoke their business license. they haven't even published an apology yet, what a bunch of fucked up retards.

Sanlu certainly shares a lot of the blame, as well as any government regulatory people. But also the farmers who added the toxic chemical to their milk simply to make it appear a higher quality so they could get a better price. Greed all around means all share the blame.

So far the only things people in China want from Sanlu are an apology and compensation for the victims, but so far none is being done.

Fuck you Sanlu !!

Quote from Xinhua

"Despite Chinese support for domestic brands, society cannot help getting angry at Sanlu and the quality watchdog. When problems arise it's always easy to blame someone else the way Sanlu has done to dairy farmers and milk dealers. But isn't the company itself to blame for the tragedy? Those children could be healthy had the company conducted its own quality control.

Yet, until Friday afternoon, not a word was said of the incident on the company's website, let alone an apology.

The quality inspection administration, too, has a larger role to play in facing the country's abundance of product safety problems, ranging from milk powder, seafood, pork and duck eggs to toothpaste and children's wear, among others, in recent years."

Xinhua is right

people in China should boycott Sanlu, don't use their products, they don't face up responsibility, only blame others.
