Powder grab no surprise
THE hide of it. Chinese people — or people who look Chinese — loading tins and tins of baby formula into their supermarket trolleys.
No respect. No consideration for others — like mums with babies who need special formula because of intolerances. Totally disregarding Aussie values.
That’s the accepted wisdom here in Australia. Every few weeks some outraged vigilante mum will photograph a bunch of furtive people of Asian appearance stockpiling cans of top-shelf gear and stashing it in their hatchbacks. She’ll upload it to her Facebook mummies’ group and righteous fury will ensue. Actually, I think we should be on their side. We should be backing those sneaky Chinese shoppers. We should applaud them.
The people of China are trapped under the thumb of a totalitarian regime that has repeatedly trashed consumers’ rights to safe products, endangering the lives of children and everyone else.
In 2008, at least six babies died and thousands were made seriously ill with poisoning by melamine, the chemical extract found in massive batches of Chinese-made baby formula.
The Government’s response was to lay criminal charges against company executives, who were deliberately adding melamine — the same stuff used to make plastic bottles and containers — to trick regulators into thinking the formula had more protein content than it really did.
That scandal clearly didn’t have much of a chilling effect, because the consumer scandals have just kept rolling. There’s been tofu processed in sewage to accelerate fermentation, lamb meat that was actually rat and chemicals and carcinogens in everything from noodles to soup.
The latest scandal relates to vaccines, with a major manufacturer making a substandard rabies vaccine, as well as selling more than 250,000 doses of faulty diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus vaccine with the potential to kill and seriously harm children.
China’s oppressive communism is giving way to a plutocracy where the market is rampant, apparently undisturbed by anything like proper government oversight.
Not surprisingly, Chinese people don’t have faith that anything will change and opt for clean, safe baby formula from Australian and New Zealand milk. If I had a family member or friend with a baby in China, I’d be doing exactly the same thing, no matter who photographed or tried to shame me. |
