Nothing is Real, only crooks are Real!
This is a rough translation of a Chinese saying that is sweeping South East Asia.Â
As China’s woos continue with one food safety issue after another both Singapore and Hong Kong authorities have banned Maling brand luncheon meat after finding a illegal chemical substance. The authorities reported having found the prohibited cancer causing antibiotic Nitrofurans in a batch of Maling lunch meat.Â
Shanghai based Maling has immediately stopped exports of its luncheon meats as they undergo further investigation.
But what of the saying? The meaning behind the saying, is to say that anything from China is not real, it is not exactly as stated, it can’t be trusted, it is fake, but, crooks are real, we can be assured that they exist and will take advantage of any situation and exploit and capitalize on the opportunity.
Will the crooks slay the Dragon?
