Chapter 189: The Poisoned Milk Powder Incident
After this press conference of the Ministry of Health. The whole world is in an uproar, and the whole world is shocked!
Some people would actually think of "adulteration" in milk powder consumed by infants and young children, such an act is simply equivalent to anti-human behavior, which is completely unconscionable and morally degenerate, and greatly exceeds the minimum moral tolerance line of the public in human society.
However, many netizens questioned that there was a problem with Sanlu milk powder, and the dairy farmers were just ghosts for the dead.
The conclusion that "illegal dairy farmers adulterated melamine with fresh milk" is more professional, but whether there is one or not, the public security department will give you an answer. Netizens believe that the culprit can be identified as an illegal dairy farmer, but in comparison, Sanlu's crime is even more unforgivable. Legally, even if the farmer does poison him, then the farmer is still an illegal arms manufacturer, and they produce guns and ammunition that can kill people, but it is the one who kills people with knives and guns who is the direct real culprit. Whether they know that the milk powder they produce contains melamine or not, in fact they are indeed making "drugs" and "trafficking drugs", directly harming millions or even tens of millions of infants and young children across the country. Such a naked crime, unless people all over the country, especially those parents who feed their children with Sanlu, suddenly become saints, will forgive Sanlu.
With the inspection agency of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China carrying out special supervision and inspection of all infant milk powder enterprises, the results show that a total of 20 milk powder companies produce infant formula milk powder containing melamine, the problem is very serious, simply appalling. The products of 20 milk powder manufacturers contain melamine, and the famous domestic brands are almost exhausted. Immediately afterwards, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China tested the liquid milk, but the results showed that all of them were qualified.
Many people are confused by such an official announcement. That is: Since the relevant departments have investigated and announced the source of the cause of the poisoned milk powder, and the "melamine" has been added to the "melamine" by illegal traders in the purchase of fresh milk, why has it not been found in liquid milk? Do milk dealers know which milk will be made into milk powder and which milk will not be processed and sold as liquid milk?
The following information in the report is intriguing: First, the products exported to Bangladesh, Myanmar and Yemen (the news said that the brand milk powder is only exported to these three countries) do not contain melamine, and all the milk powder supplied to the Olympic and Paralympic Games by various manufacturers has not been detected with melamine. This news told us that Chinese manufacturers are implementing two production standards, and they would rather feed their own children with poisoned milk powder than cause any harm to foreign friends. This news also tells us that the manufacturers are fully capable of producing milk powder according to the standards of providing milk powder to foreign friends, but they refuse to fulfill the minimum obligations for Chinese children -- we can even not ask for nutritious milk powder, but is it also a luxury to provide non-toxic milk powder? At the same time, this news also proves that leaving poisoned milk powder for Chinese children and supplying good products to foreign friends undoubtedly shows that these milk powder manufacturers are discriminating against their own compatriots and have set a perfect example for traitors in the present era.
Second, it was mentioned in the report that melamine was not detected in the liquid milk produced by the manufacturers after July 15. This news told us that since the outbreak of the Sanlu milk powder incident on July 12, all manufacturers have strengthened production management and quality inspection, so the milk powder produced after the 15th no longer contains melamine. This shows that such quality accidents are technically completely controllable, and in just three days, the manufacturers effortlessly kicked melamine out of the factory. This news also told us that if there is such a quality problem, it is either the manufacturer's negligence in management. Strict quality standards are not really enforced, or melamine is deliberately released on a large scale. Judging from the content of the first piece of news, the latter is more likely. Because since the milk powder provided to foreigners is fully qualified, it means that the manufacturer still has a set of quality management system. It is impossible for the quality inspection department of the manufacturer to fail to detect milk powder containing the same vegan chemical product on a large scale and continuously on a large scale.
This news also proves that so many manufacturers produce milk powder containing the same toxin at the same time, indicating that this is an unspoken rule in the industry. Even if the toxin comes from the milk source or the supply chain, the manufacturer cannot escape the responsibility of acquiescence, connivance and indulgence. There is no essential difference from the manufacturer's own direct melamine.
On the 17th, according to the progress of the investigation into the safety accident of Sanlu brand infant formula milk powder, the Henan Provincial Party Committee decided to remove Comrade Ji Chuntang from his post as deputy secretary, member of the Standing Committee and member of the Shijiazhuang Municipal Party Committee, and the Shijiazhuang Municipal Party Committee requested the Municipal People's Congress to remove him from his post as mayor in accordance with legal procedures. Zhang Fawang, deputy mayor of Shijiazhuang, Zhang Yi, director of the Municipal Food and Drug Administration, Li Zhiguo, director of the Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision, and Tian Wenhua, secretary of the Party Committee of Sanlu Group, were all dismissed.
The evidence obtained from the preliminary investigation shows that the "Sanlu milk powder accident" currently mainly occurs in the production, purchase and sales of milk. For this reason, the Shijiazhuang City CPC Committee reported to the Hebei Provincial Party Committee that Jian Yì had dismissed Zhang Fawang, deputy mayor of Shijiazhuang City in charge of agricultural production, from his post and Sun Renhu, director of the Shijiazhuang City Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Bureau, from his post through relevant legal procedures.
The Standing Committee of the Shijiazhuang City People's Congress held a meeting on the evening of 16 July, and in accordance with relevant legal procedures, the decision to remove the above-mentioned personnel from their posts was already resolved. In view of the ineffective supervision of the quality of milk sources, Zhang Yi, director of the Shijiazhuang Food and Drug Administration and secretary of the party group, and Li Zhiguo, director of the Shijiazhuang City Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau and secretary of the party group, were also removed from their positions inside and outside the party by the higher-level authorities on the 16th.
In addition, the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Hebei Provincial CPC Committee also agreed with the decision of the Shijiazhuang City CPC Committee and instructed the Xinhua District CPC Committee of Shijiazhuang City to remove Tian Wenhua from his post as secretary of the party committee of the Sanlu Group Co., Ltd. It is reported. The Xinhua District Committee of the Communist Party of China in Shijiazhuang City has appointed Zhao Luxin to the post of party secretary of Sanlu Group Co., Ltd. At the meeting of the board of directors of Sanlu Group Co., Ltd., which ended on the evening of the 16th, in accordance with the articles of association and procedures of the board of directors, Tian Wenhua was dismissed from the post of chairman of the board of directors, dismissed him from the post of general manager, elected Zhang Zhenling as chairman of the board of directors and hired him as general manager.
On July 17, after several days of in-depth investigation by the public security organs on the contamination of infant milk powder of Sanlu Group, in accordance with Articles 144 and 150 of the Criminal Law and the relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, it was decided to criminally detain Tian Wenhua, the former chairman and general manager of Sanlu Group.
As of July 17, five days after the incident, a total of 6,244 cases were found, of which 4,917 had mild symptoms. At present, 1,327 children are still in the hospital for observation and treatment. Acute renal failure occurred in 158 patients with all clinical diagnoses, accounting for 2.5% of the total number of cases. At present, 94 of the 158 critically ill children have been discharged from the hospital in stable condition or cured. In addition to these 6,244 cases, there are three deaths detected by retrospective investigations, including two in Gansu Province and one in Zhejiang Province.
This number is very huge at first glance from the eyes of the world, especially for those European and American countries, if a few babies have a small accident in these countries, it will become international news, not to mention the thousands of children, but Chen Feng knows that the more than 6,000 children found so far are really the tip of the iceberg. In the history of previous lives, the number of statistics at the beginning also started from a few thousand, and then increased to tens of thousands, but in the end, it reached nearly 300,000 at once. The current thousands of children are obviously too few compared to the hundreds of thousands later. Even though. Now the matter of poisoned milk powder has been exposed several years in advance, but since the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China has inspected it, there are still 20 milk powder manufacturers on the blacklist, which is enough to explain the problem.
The people of the country are saddened and the world is shocked. "Reference News" reprinted a commentary by the Hong Kong media, saying: This incident has caused China's "thousand-year-old journey to be lost," and China's illusory soft power has been strengthened, and it is impossible to conceal greater moral worries; and the fundamental thing is to save credibility.
This incident has completely humiliated the Chinese and made the world lose confidence in Chinese food and Chinese manufacturing. The soft power that has been hard to achieve for many years, a bad thing, has exhausted it.
Melamine cast an ominous shadow on the land of China, and the hearts of the descendants of Yan and Huang were full of gloom. Tens of millions of parents across the country have taken their children to the hospital for kidney function tests, almost in most hospitals across the country can see overcrowded scenes, and the vast majority of them are parents and children, almost every parent's face is full of worry, and even often see these parents crying and losing their voices. This situation is unprecedented in human history.
The Sanlu poisoned milk powder incident is getting bigger and bigger, thousands of children have been found to have kidney stones, and two have died.
The government always has to strictly inspect after a fatal problem, but this time the investigation is more troublesome: it turns out that the poisoned milk powder is not only Sanlu, but also dozens of brand-name high-quality products in the country are also adulterated with melamine, and it is conceivable that there are also those uncountable fresh milk, yogurt, milk pastries and so on. The conceivable and unknowable poisonous meat, poisonous food. How strict should the problem of poisonous water and poisonous vegetables be. So the common people were a little scared, and then a little angry.
The US magazine "Time" made a report with the title of "Poisoned Milk Powder Angers China", which pointed out that the incident caused people's disappointment and anger on the Chinese Internet. The anger is directed not only at manufacturers who adulterate milk powder for profit, but also at government officials. A netizen who goes by the screen name sadmoon109 wrote in a blog: "Xinhua reacted quickly by condemning the dairy industry's unsound rules and regulations, but it dodged the question that the government itself was involved in this scandal." Some members of the public were outraged to find that a May report by China's Food Safety Bureau claimed that 99.1 percent of infant milk powder had passed safety checks, and that it reaffirmed the exemption status of 16 brands of milk products, some of which are now on the blacklist.
The scandal is spreading not only on the mainland. Yili, one of China's largest* product companies, was found to contain melamine in nine products. So on July 18, the Hong Kong government recalled all Yili's dairy products. There have been no reports of infants and young children falling ill from powdered milk in Hong Kong. But Hong Kong's Food Safety Centre says drinking just two glasses of contaminated Yili milk a day is enough to put a child's health at risk.
In this latest incident, the central government has gone to great lengths to quell public anger. On the 18th, the government dismissed the mayor of Shijiazhuang on suspicion of concealing reports of contamination with tainted milk powder. Sanlu milk powder was first found to contain melamine, which also became the focus of this incident. The government has also arrested dozens of dairy traders suspected of producing or selling poisoned milk to companies.
However, this is not enough to restore the confidence of Chinese consumers, who have become extremely skeptical of the country's food safety and the competence of its regulators. Luo Hexin, a migrant worker in Beijing, said his two-year-old son, who had been drinking Sanlu milk powder for a month, was worried about the quality of the dairy products he could buy. "Now, we have to let our children drink rice soup," Mr. Luo said. ”
The German newspaper Die Zeit even used an angry headline on the matter -- "Do the liars have no children?".
"China's milk powder contamination scandal continues to escalate. Since September 12, two children have died of kidney failure, both of whom drank Sanlu's milk powder, which was adulterated with the chemical melamine. There were also 158 children with acute renal failure, and as many as 6,000 children were clinically diagnosed. Hospitals are overcrowded, and thousands of parents are worried about the health of their lone seedling. Melamine is widely used in the manufacture of resins and detergents, and is an additive that increases the protein content of diluted milk. This practice is clearly not unique to the Chinese dairy industry. As revealed this past Thursday, an official inspection of well-known companies in the dairy industry found that about 10% of the products contained between 0.6 and 8.6 milligrams per kilogram of melamine. The reaction of ordinary Chinese people is not just anger and disappointment. For the first time, many people saw the ubiquitous threat to life from the milk powder scandal, which was caused by the cancer of corruption and greed that spread across the country......"
Although the language of this report is biased and mercilessly criticizes the Chinese government, it undoubtedly represents the views of some people in China on the government.
The New York Times was more neutral, with an editorial headlined "China Tries to Quell Public Panic Triggered by Milk Scandal."
South Korea's JoongAng Ilbo's editorial is more spicy, because it itself has obvious anti-China colors, this time China caught such a poisoned milk powder scandal that shocked the world, naturally it will not let go, published an editorial with "The whole of Asia is shocked by China's melamine incident", the introduction and beginning of the editorial quoted a post from a certain online community in China, the title of the post is called "Good Day": "Get up in the morning and brush your teeth with toothpaste containing carcinogens, and then drink a glass with too much iodine, contaminated with melamine, Milk that expires early: Eggs with Sudan dyes for lunch, eels raised on contraceptive feed and cabbage sprayed with DDT, and vegetables made from sick and dead pigs for dinner. What a day!" attacked the shield of the son with the spear of the son, and made a spicy mockery of melamine and food in China.
Most of these reports by foreign media are critical of China's tainted milk powder incident, and there are many who gloat. But this is also to blame people, after all, there is such a strict public health and safety incident. For the first time in human history, it's a bit too appalling.
Whether it is Buddhism, Christianity, or Islam, their teachings undoubtedly teach people: "Man is the master of heaven and earth, and the most precious thing for man is life." "People's health first, people's life first. "Push yourself and others, cherish people's lives." "Human life is at stake".
This is an enduring universal truth that has been unbreakable and has been unswervingly shared by all mankind throughout history, modern times, China and foreign countries.
Thousands of babies have developed similar symptoms of poisoning, and some have died of kidney failure? The milk and milk powder consumed by these babies contain melamine, and to be precise, the culprits are unscrupulous manufacturers such as "Sanlu", who have adulterated milk and milk powder with highly toxic melamine!
For manufacturers, the news media can be described as "success and failure".
Whether it is "Sanlu", "Mengniu", or "Yili", over the years, they have relied on the news media to make marketing advertisements for them, thus making huge profits. Now, through the exposure of the news media, the Chinese people know about the crime of "Sanlu", which can be said to be a household name and everyone knows about it. China's news media are controlled by the government and have always been accustomed to reporting good news but not bad news. It was only because many lives had been lost, which aroused great public indignation, and paper could not contain the fire, that the news media such as radio, television, and newspapers had no choice but to poke out the crime of "Sanlu." The demon king of the mixed world has come to an end, and the "Sanlu" has finally whined.
It is important to know that the melamine problem is widespread in China's dairy industry, and the problem of "Sanlu" is just the tip of the iceberg. That is to say: "Sanlu" is not the only manufacturer that produces and markets "poisoned milk" and "poisoned milk powder"? What other groups and companies in the domestic dairy industry have long had "unspoken rules," and they have long been competing to follow suit. The marketing propaganda carried out in the newspapers, those beautiful words and phrases, are all deceptive nonsense, deceptive rumors, all kinds of dazzling images, all beautiful disguises, charming painted skins. Peel off their disguises, tear off their painted skins, and it turns out that they are all hideous and terrifying man-eating devils.
"Poisoned milk" and "poisoned milk powder", they look like flowers and jade, but in fact, they are not ice clear jade, they are women who have been spoiled by "bad men" and suffer from strict zhòng sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS!
Is it only the above-mentioned babies who have suffered from "poisoned milk" and "poisoned milk powder"? Are there hundreds of millions of other elementary and middle school students, middle school students, college students, ladies, and gentlemen who have not suffered from "poisoned milk" and "poisoned milk powder"? It is only because the infants' food is relatively simple, other factors can be ruled out, and it is relatively easy to determine that the illness and death caused by the consumption of "poisoned milk" and "poisoned milk powder" are relatively clear. In other more patients, other factors are often blamed. However, some people have noticed that, on the one hand, with the improvement of people's living standards and the renewal of dietary concepts, the number of people who consume dairy products is increasing year by year; on the other hand, at the same time, or slightly lagging behind, patients with hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, cerebral palsy, dementia, gout, osteopathy, leukemia and other cancers are also increasing year by year, and the age is getting younger and younger. Could it be that these two phenomena are just coincidences, and there is no inevitable connection between the two? Could it be that "poisoned milk" and "poisoned milk powder" have nothing to do with these patients?
Melamine is like cancer cells that have spread widely in China. Due to the melamine mixed in the feed, not only dairy cows, milk, milk powder are toxic, but other livestock such as pigs, poultry such as chickens and ducks, fish, shrimp and crabs and other aquatic products and their derivative products all contain melamine toxins in different ways. It can be said that melamine endangers people's health and devours people's precious lives every day. This is a man-made plague, and this is another catastrophe for the Chinese nation, which will last for a long time and the number of victims will be unprecedented.
China's Criminal Law strictly prohibits Chinese people from producing, marketing, and eating (inhaling or injecting) opium, powdered powder, methamphetamine, small pills, and other drugs. For the big drug lords, those who sell large quantities of drugs will be punished with heavy punishment and capital punishment. The penal laws of other countries are also harsh.
However, in the case of a drug transaction, the seller clearly indicates that this is opium, this is powder, that it is methamphetamine or pills or other drugs, and that the buyer also identifies that it is opium, powder, methamphetamine or pills and other drugs. The deal between the two sides, as the song goes, is "clear and clear". That is, the seller is not defrauded and the buyer is not deceived. It is said that these people in the underworld also abide by this "rule of the game". On the other hand, the manufacturers who market "poisoned milk" and "poisoned milk powder" are "three rotten", and their nature is much more despicable than that of drug traffickers.
The case of "poisoned milk" and "poisoned milk powder" is completely equivalent to poisoning, which is an organized and deliberate killing, and it can be further said that this is an unforgivable crime against humanity, because the poisoned milk and poisoned milk powder are not aimed at individuals, but at hundreds of millions of unsuspecting infants, young children, teenagers, young people, middle-aged people, and elderly people across the country...... and so on. However, the hundreds of millions of victims of "poisoned milk" and "poisoned milk powder" and the perpetrators of the manufacturers who marketed "poisoned milk" and "poisoned milk powder" have no grievances in the past and present lives, but the victims have been deceived, poisoned, sick and even died for no reason. From this point of view, these "anti-human" manufacturers deserve hell even more.
During World War II, German fascists poisoned a large number of Jewish refugees with chlorine in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Now, China's unscrupulous manufacturers are poisoning my fathers, elders, villagers, brothers and sisters of 56 nationalities with melamine!
In short, the illegal manufacturers who market "poisoned milk" and "poisoned milk powder" are extremely evil in their crimes!
People at home and abroad have analysed and reviewed the tainted milk powder incident from various angles, and have devised countermeasures to abandon the old and seek new ones. From the moral level, some called on producers and operators to "speak of conscience", those in power to be responsible to the people, and called on media workers to refuse to buy capital. From the perspective of administrative management, some criticized the overstepping and lack of government departments, that is, they did not manage too much of what should be managed but should not be managed, "serving the boss" and serving the performance of the government, and putting economic development indicators above the safety of people's lives. Some criticized the weakness and perfunctory nature of administrative accountability, which is just like giving a dismissed official a long vacation to avoid the limelight and change his position as an official. From a legal point of view, some demand that those who adulterate drugs and counterfeiters be severely punished and that officials who derelict their duties be held criminally responsible. From the perspective of civil society, some criticize the vicious circle of blindly calling for "stronger government supervision", and advocate the realization of freedom of association and industrial autonomy. From the perspective of "national character", some criticized the outdated concept that "family ugliness should not be publicized" and the "angry youth" on the Internet misled the country, missing the opportunity to correct the mistakes brought by the developed countries' previous disclosure of Chinese products.
Some people say that the poisoned milk powder incident and the endless fake cigarettes, fake alcohol, fake eggs, fake drugs, poisoned rice, and so on have exposed the fundamental crisis of our society, which is the complete decline of morality. So, how can this morality be degraded and how can it be redeemed? Read the "Old Three Chapters" again and read "Serve the People"?
Most Chinese are modernists, and the only way to educate and guide them is reality. The root cause of the problem can only be solved from the actual interest orientation, and can only be solved from the realistic punishment of evil and promotion of good. According to the "Research Report on Social Harmony and Stability in China" recently released by the Institute of Sociology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, 98% of people agree that "credit" should be emphasized, while 69.8% believe that "good and upright people often suffer". The previous number is not strange, it shows that everyone is rational, knows that everyone is trustworthy, the transaction cost is low, there is no need to be suspicious everywhere, and life is easy; however, the reality is very helpless, and the reward for your kindness and integrity is often ruthless suppression and internal and external difficulties, so stealing and playing tricks have become a trend, and even "thick black learning" has become a classic, and things that hurt nature and reason have also become common tricks. This is also the root cause of the spread of melamine milk powder from unscrupulous initiators to the "unspoken rules" of the whole industry; all the "unspoken rules" that are offensive to customs and morality are all the flowers of evil that the inferior survive the fittest!
Therefore, there are ready-made prescriptions for the right medicine. As far as the general end is concerned, at the beginning, open the way of speech, let the public enjoy the full right to participate, supervise and express in accordance with the law, and if a case of counterfeiting and adulteration is discovered, let it be exposed to the sun and become the finger of thousands of people, at least so that it cannot be deceived. In fact, when it comes to safeguarding the safety of food and other products, the government and citizens should stand on the same side and let enterprises and products survive the fittest, without having to shelter any unscrupulous enterprise or black sheep -- at least the central government.
At the end of the day, justice is the last line of defence for social justice. According to some reports, if the tainted milk incident happened to them, it would be an opportunity for lawyers to show their skills and attract them to represent the victims in lawsuits and demand high damages from companies. Yes, as long as the principle of judicial independence is truly implemented, and punitive damages are introduced for deliberate personal injuries "in line with international standards," how many enterprises will dare to take risks to harm consumers? Judicial fairness can not only punish unscrupulous enterprises, but also check and balance officials in making good use of public power, because citizens can also defend their rights and sue officials for administrative inaction or disorderly acts. Unfortunately, it is too difficult for citizens in China to defend their rights, and cases of miscarriage of justice are everywhere. If the rule of law cannot be implemented, the above is all nonsense.
The people live on food. Food is all about people. Illness comes from the mouth, on the contrary, the blessing of recuperation can be eternal. Food is related to people's health and life, and food hygiene and safety are related to people's blessings, safety, life and death. Undoubtedly, food hygiene and safety issues are the biggest livelihood issues.
China's food hygiene and safety has long been frequently red lights. Food hygiene and safety problems in China emerge one after another.
Drama people change, and the ingenuity is different. Some unscrupulous manufacturers in China's food industry seem to be competing with magic masters at home and abroad, and their tricks are constantly renovating:
The old rice that has been moldy has been treated with "engine oil" or something to show the color of new rice, and it is mixed up in the bazaar.
The coarse and yellowed flour is added with fluorescent whitening powder bulking agent, etc., and the steamed bread out of the cage is extraordinarily white, extraordinarily delicate, extraordinarily soft and delicious;
People are afraid of hyperlipidemia and like meat, so pigs add "clenbuterol" to pig feed;
So the egg yolk is delicious and fragrant, so it is mixed with "Sudan red" in the chicken and duck food;
Sea cucumbers, squid, whitebait, winter bamboo shoots, eight-treasure porridge, etc., in order to keep fresh, manufacturers use preservatives such as formaldehyde;
Pistachios and other fruits have become beautiful after being bleached, longan, etc., smeared with yellow powder, ginger, etc., smoked with sulfur, and become popular in the market;
The industrial alcohol is mixed with water and processed into a variety of famous wines, and the bottles are gracefully displayed on the stage at the banquet, which is favored by people;
The refined oil extracted from the garbage of the gutter swill is packaged into a variety of brand-name products, and barrels are beautifully washed and shiny, like a hostess, and arranged on the supermarket shelves in a grand manner;
…… And so on, there are so many wonders.
Whether it is grain, vegetables, fruits, or other kinds of food, it can be asserted that there is no "green food" at all in our country, and there is no safe food at all! Even the news media such as radio, television, and newspapers exclaimed: What else can we eat?!
It is no wonder that China's famous Guanshengyuan food, Meilin canned food, Longjing tea, etc. have not been exported since the eighties of the last century. There is a kind of melon called "Elizabeth", which is produced in the Hong Kong market for 50 Hong Kong dollars a catty, and in the Hong Kong market, 50 Hong Kong dollars a catty from Japan has become a sought-after commodity; although the appearance and taste are good, 5 yuan a catty is still not popular, because 11 of its chemical fertilizer and pesticide residues have exceeded the standard......
China's food hygiene and safety problems have become increasingly strict, and food poisoning incidents have become more and more serious, so that they have developed to the point where they can now be called the pinnacle -- melamine, "poisoned milk", and "poisoned milk powder" have poisoned the whole country, and continue to endanger the health and lives of hundreds of millions of people.
By the beginning of August, the number of children suffering from stones in the country had reached 160,000, and at this time it was considered to be over, and the number of children reported across the country was gradually decreasing, and few new children were discovered. This time, the Chinese Government can be said to have handled this matter very vigorously and resolutely, because of this incident, Premier Zhu personally rushed to various places to comfort the families of the sick children, and it is even rumored that at a work meeting, he angrily slapped the table and instructed that the relevant responsible persons should be dealt with severely.
At the end of July, the State Council announced the dismissal of the Minister of Health and the Director of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China.
On August 5, the Ministry of Health and five other ministries jointly issued an announcement announcing that dairy products and milk-containing foods should not contain melamine. According to the announcement, melamine is not a food raw material or a food additive, and it is forbidden to artificially add it to food. Those who artificially add melamine to food will be investigated for legal responsibility in accordance with the law.
In the original history, the five ministries of the Ministry of Health issued melamine limits on the grounds that "melamine can be used as a chemical raw material in the production of plastics, coatings, adhesives, and food packaging materials." The data shows that melamine can enter food from the environment, food packaging and other ways, and its content is very low. In order to ensure human health and ensure the quality and safety of milk and dairy products, the temporary management limit value of melamine in milk and dairy products is specially formulated. "Their explanations are not unprofessional, but they always give the impression of speaking from the perspective of dairy manufacturers, which is widely questioned by the public. What is particularly intriguing is that the regulations jointly promulgated by these five ministries and commissions are "temporary management" measures, does this mean that those milk powder manufacturers will have a buffer transition period, so as to prevent these manufacturers from being unable to continue selling a large number of substandard milk powder and suffering huge economic losses? If this is the case, it seems that the five central ministries and commissions have taken great pains to promote these large taxpayers and milk powder manufacturers with exemplary social morality.
In real life, people who ingest too much melamine every day may not kill immediately, and may not have obvious poisoning reactions in a short period of time. However, over time, there will be a day when toxicity occurs, or it may manifest as kidney failure, heart and brain disease, cancer and other diseases, and it is incurable. Infants have a faster onset of disease due to their poor immunity, while adults may have to take some time. Sad?
Milk itself does not contain a single trace of melamine, not 1 in 10,000, 1 in 100,000, and not in 1 million. It is only due to external factors such as containers, environment, and air that milk contains a negligible amount of melamine. For example, containers, some of which are made of melamine, but only release melamine molecules at high temperatures to leach into the milk. Still, the amount of melamine in milk may be only 1 in 100,000, or less. If the content of melamine in milk is as high as 1 or 2 parts per thousand, it can be concluded that it is man-made, and that the evil hand has poisoned the milk and mixed it with melamine.
Unscrupulous manufacturers in China's dairy industry regard melamine as a magic weapon: it can not only save milk raw materials, but also improve the energy level of dairy products, so as to make huge profits. A large number of 100-dollar bills made them red-eyed and dizzy, and they frantically mixed melamine into milk and milk powder, so that the melamine content of milk and milk powder jumped one step after another: 1 percent, 10 percent, 100 percent. According to relevant sources, it has reached the point where melamine is not mixed with milk, but melamine is mixed with milk, and even milk is not used at all, only melamine is used as a raw material to produce various dairy products, which is shocking!
After the "poisoned milk" and "poisoned milk powder" incidents were exposed by the news media, the Central Ministry of Health and other ministries and bureaus had no choice but to "limit the amount of melamine" in milk and milk powder because of the strong indignation of the broad masses of the people. However, it is not a requirement of "zero content", and it is not forbidden to adulterate melamine in milk and milk powder. The "limit" of 1 in 1,000 and 2 in 1,000 means that in fact, the criminal behavior of illegal manufacturers is still "green".
Of course, in this life, because of Chen Feng, a "reborn butterfly", the five ministries and commissions of the central government finally made a wise decision that was in line with the health and life of the people of the whole country, and truly made decisions for the people of the whole country. The rigid regulations of zero content have forced those milk powder manufacturers to abandon or even hold the luck of returning the poisoned milk powder to the furnace for dilution processing.
A report in the US Congress pointed out that China's pragmatic diplomacy has won the attention of many developing countries. In particular, China's growing trade, investment, and need-based foreign aid, which have resulted from China's own rapid development, have earned international prestige by emphasizing mutual benefits. China's influence and voice in the world are growing day by day.
However, it is precisely because of China's rapid economic growth that it has neglected moral education, looked at money, and was unpredictable, and all kinds of unthinkable cheating behaviors have continuously brought crises and impacts to society, and the frequency is getting higher and higher. The tainted milk powder incident has exposed the fundamental crisis of Chinese society: the complete loss of morality!
Over the years, people have heard about counterfeiting scandals in China, and the government departments alone have tracked down thousands of counterfeit and shoddy products, including liquor, medicines, electrical appliances, banknotes, and even fake eggs and poisonous rice. What is even more despicable is the rampant proliferation of false statistics at all levels of government, which are used to cover up all sorts of immoral acts and disgraceful incidents.
In "Historical Records: The Biography of Guan Yan", Guan Zhong has a famous saying: "Cangqiao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing." This means that after people have enough food and clothing, they should know how to be moral, courteous, and have a sense of shame. Over the past 20 years or so since the reform and opening up, the Chinese people have been solid and have enough food and clothing, but they have not known etiquette, honor and disgrace as the ancients said; on the contrary, traditional moral norms and traditional values are being weakened and dying out day by day, and many people have lost their ideals, beliefs and ethics.
Reshaping the faith of the whole nation and rebuilding the moral norms of the whole nation will certainly be a practical task that the Chinese government has to face.
PS: Although less than two years have passed since the tainted milk powder incident, it seems that both traditional media and online media have forgotten about it. But the memory of our people does not seem to be so forgetful, and I still remember the relatives, relatives, friends, people I knew and didn't know around me, because of this incident. It is sad that a nation that forgets itself and does not dare to face up to its own history is pathetic! And the 22 dairy companies that were "on the list" back then, apart from Sanlu, who still remembers the crimes they committed for the entire country and the nation in those years?
