Is there any fraud in China? Of course. Is there any unsafe food produced in China? Of course. Is China the only country with food safety violation? Of course not.
But whenever there is a case, the usual way is to blow it up and make it big, so that all Hong Kong citizens are frightened and rejected to buy those Chinese products.
Do not blame solely on the press. They had mentioned the full story, though the vital part will not be repeated. For example, about the poison egg case, it is said that if one ate twelve eggs a day, there would be harmful. As usual, most had not aware of the quantity; just to say happily that Chinese eggs were poisonous.
Who in the world would eat twelve eggs everyday? Need not to say; only idiot may do so.
No one will care about the truth because they all enjoy pointing finger at China. That is the common belief in Hong Kong.
在中國有沒有騙子呢?當然有。有沒有不安全的食物在中國生產呢?當然有。中國是不是世界上唯一有食物不安全事件的國家呢?當然不是。
但如當有事件發生,慣常的情況是把事件吹噓及弄大,直至所有香港人都害怕及拒絕購該類有問題的產品。
不可完全歸咎於新聞界。他們曾完整地報導,雖然最重要的聲明絕不重複。例如有關毒雞蛋的事,第一次公佈時稱如果一日吃12隻雞蛋將會受害。一如以往,絕大部份人都不理會數量的問題,只是很開心地稱中國雞蛋有毒。
世界上誰會每天吃12隻雞蛋呢?不用說,只有呆子才有機會這樣做。
沒有人會關心真相,因為他們極享受指責中國。這是香港的普遍信念。
