Chinese caught mixing plastic in rice

Here lately I've been hearing a lot about some of the fake stuff that china makes (not that that's particularly new) but what really disturbs me is that now they are making counterfeit food. And have been doing so for at least 4 years.
Here's the link:

Much longer than 4 years. In the 90's I was hearing about old newspapers being used for filler in hotdogs.

I can't actually verify this. I only see a buttload of sources claiming the Korea Times reported that the Singapore media had the allegation. That seems pretty suspect.

Yeah, p much. I don't buy it. There are much better uses for plastic and like.. why? What would be the point of doing this? Cheap plastic shit that breaks is China's #1 export commodity. Rice is grown in patties and it's not cheaper to make plastic rice look alike stuff.
Not to mention plastic is carcinogenic. I'm sure they are aware of this.

What's crazy is, that plastic rice brand in China isn't even cheap either. It's actually a "luxury" brand that's sold for a lot more expensive prices than standard brands of rice.
And it's not just plastic rice. Check this out. China has also been manufacturing fake eggs that are made completely from chemicals.
You would think that putting together chemicals in a lab would be a lot more expensive than simply harvesting a real egg, but apparently manufacturing and labor costs are so cheap in China, that companies prefer to save money by doing this.
They have even been caught selling meat that has been frozen for 40+ years:

It is real. Check out this video.
It's called the Wuchang Rice Scandal.
I don't think there's any other nationality that exemplifies the trope of being cheap sheisters quite like the Chinese do

Wow, that goes beyond cheap. Rice is so inexpensive. It contributes to the great country known as China and its overall view of human beings being as nothing and the States being owned by them.

My only guess (a poor but valid one) would be to cut production waste costs while increasing rice profits at the same time.

It is definitely real. Please see the video above I posted, several legit news sources have covered the Wuchang rice scandal.
I had a hard time believing this initially too, that a company could possibly cut costs by manufacturing something that would clearly cost a ton to make, because in the USA it clearly wouldn't be cost-productive.
But you have to understand that labor and manufacturing costs are so cheap in China, that it is actually cheaper to produce fake rice than to harvest and pay farmers for the real thing.
Plus, the Wuchang brand of rice is actually sold as a luxury item, for double or triple the prices of regular rice.

I guess you didn't watch it but that Wuchang Scandal video had nothing to do with plastic rice. It was about two things. First farmers cutting a tiny bit of rice from Wuchang with a ton of rice sourced elsewhere, and selling it as from Wuchang. Second people in Wuchang importing rice from elsewhere to sell as Wuchang rice.
Calling Chinese people as a whole exemplary sheisters is a little much for the Pub. It seems a little uninformed, too. They have different laws regarding counterfeits, but U.S. companies do pretty much the same shit. They add totally non-digestable and zero nutrient wood pulp to many if not most processed foods. They use meat glue to piece together scraps as an expensive cut of meat. Many are completely dishonest about their product.

China has had a serious problem with fake food for decades possibly longer. Chinese honey is notoriously fake, but also salt and meat are often fake. Meat is sometimes worse than fake: years old meat is regularly sold in china.

Oh you're right my bad, I remember watching a ton of videos about the plastic rice incident several months ago, and assumed one of those videos was the one about plastic rice, without watching it again to confirm.
These videos are in English. RT reports that it is a mix of potatoes, sweet potatoes, with plastic. It's not all 100% plastic:
These videos don't have English subs, but you can clearly hear "plasteek" and Chaina" being said several times in the video, along with demonstrations of how the rice is made and how it burns. The reason India covered it is because this brand of rice was found to be imported and sold in their country:

Mislabeling a cheap cut of beef for an expensive cut of beef is cheap, but it's nowhere near as cheap as cutting toxic chemicals such as melamine in baby formula (which has caused thousands of kidney failures, hospital visits, and even deaths among infants).
Seriously, making fake eggs completely from scratch to save a few bucks is beyond cheap.

Well, at least that is illegal in China, but who knows how many tons still are being produced illegally and sold to cheap restaurants and food carts.
God that's so nasty. If I were in China I would be afraid to eat anything quite honestly.

Jews are definitely known to be cheap, and Indians you definitely don't ever want to haggle with because you will LOSE, but even Jews and Indians don't stoop to poisoning their own people just to save a buck here and there.

What I find somewhat disturbing about your post, apart from the ethnic generalizing, is a double standard as to how to treat ones of ones own ethnicity (to the higher standard) and another ethnicity (to a lower standard)
It shows a strong entanglement with racist thought.

Sure do miss ZIG right now. It would be his cue Asante, you , I'm sure realize that...you're probably even imagining some of his personal jabs as we speak. lol
I saw that irony in her post too..."Even Jews and Indians" is a little degrading to them, regardless of context.
I will say that I put nothing past the Chinese...They have created a huge economy off of stealing others legitimate and workable products by reverse engineering then using the cheap labor Crystal spoke about and flooding the world market with the"knock off" product. I have been in business for 30 years now and They have duplicated every piece of hardware I sell and do so for basically pennies on the dollar. They even duplicated a lock that I designed and now offer it for half of what I can make it for.....It is exactly identical.
Their business model awards them for this and it is not looked down on ...actually, quite the opposite. They pay no attention to patent laws whatsoever.

most countries have very strict food laws. even china where a few greedy fucks produced fake eggs and plastic rice and milk that was tainted with melamine was quick to start cracking down on it because it hurts china's exports as well as their domestic sales
no here's a few things that crystal g's fear mongering about chemicals isnt telling you
1. all foods are chemicals 2. those fake eggs were made with food products
the chemicals were things such as calcium alginate, alum, gelatine and even scarier names like Glucolactone. all of which are found in foods you eat
the fake eggs, they arent going to hurt you but they also arent going to provide any nutrition so you're kinda SOL if you want to eat to live

What I find somewhat disturbing about your post, apart from the ethnic generalizing, is a double standard as to how to treat ones of ones own ethnicity (to the higher standard) and another ethnicity (to a lower standard)
It shows a strong entanglement with racist thought.
Then you should take that up with people who treat their own kind better than others. The Japanese are infamous for treating their own natural citizens better than foreigners. Same with the Jews, many Jews prefer to support Jewish businesses, even if some of those businesses amount to no better than a Ponzi scheme.

So you'd treat the Japanese just the same as your own then, right? Because it kinda sounds like youre not. And I worked for a japanese sushi bar for a bit (run by a chinese couple, go figure) and they were super nice. They gave me cash bonuses all the time and treated me just as fair as their other asian employees

I'd say our heavy usage of HFCS is a pretty bad food additive we allow in all our foods, linked to high rates of diabetes too.
We put MSG on a lot of food as well, which is mildly toxic if I'm not mistaken.
We're obviously not near as bad, but we let shit pass that we probably shouldn't too.

MSG is perfectly fine. HFCS isn't that much worse than cane sugar.

Fair enough, but they allow cookie peddlers (girl scouts) to set up shop anywhere. Cookie peddlers Koods. Is that really the America you want to live in?

Ramen noodles isn't that good man. When your starving or in jail yeah. If I had to go the route I like the cup of soups with the little pieces of veggies in it. Anyway, 2 each there own.

Well its certainly not the whole country but some of the rice companies were doing it, so the country is "guilty by proxy" lol. I'm totally joking but on a serious note if a couple of American companies did something like that all of us would be reading another story about 'corrupt America'.
