All about China

Now this one post here will sound political, but hey... I can't help myself. Let's start.

It is all about China. If you read the papers or watch the news these recent times, then you probably heard about all these things about Chinese products being defamed. Let me elaborate one by one.

First off was the White Rabbit candy, you know... the one with the edible paper wrapper (I love that candy!). The Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) is recalling all White Rabbit candies as well as other candies (all imported from China) from all the stores nationwide. In fact, they made a ban on all these popular Chinese candies. BFAD said that the candies has Formaldehyde (bad for the health obviously) in them. Formaldehyde is an embalming fluid that can cause stomach bleeding and death when taken in large amounts. The Chinese Foreign Minister even asked the RP to lift the ban stating "White Rabbit is to China as puto [rice cake] is to the Philippines. We grew up with White Rabbit." [source]

Next was the recall of Chinese made toys. Yes, toy dolls and the likes. This time they say that the paint job, as well as the magnets made to build the dolls, are the culprit. They say its bad for the health... Yeah.

Then some time later, Chinese made Chocolates are the new target. They say that its ingredients are dirty. They even showed some news footages in the of alleged Chinese Chocolates with worms inside them. Saavy.

A week after, Chinese drugs are being recalled! This time they saying that China drugs are not licensed and tested by the DOH and whatever. Amazing. You got to wonder: why just now?

Then just now, as in right now while I'm writing this, I'm watching TV Patrol... China-made baby cribs are being recalled!! This time they said that it killed three babies because of bad engineering!

Wow! As in wow! So what's next?! Chinese people throughout the world will be recalled!? They won't allow them out of China?! Haha!

Then by research, and by having mature conversations with more political inclined people, I learned that China is the main obstacle for the one powerful country (which we'll refer to as the Big Bad Machine) in terms of raw and import materials and products! China products are exporting all over the world, and the big bad machine is losing its market.

Now, looking back at all these Chinese products recalls... Isn't it obvious that there maybe some sort of propaganda to defame Chinese products?! I mean it's so obvious that almost every week, some form of Chinese product is being recalled! It's almost funny actually... do they (whoever they are) think that people are actually stupid not to notice?!

So it's probably the big bad machine that is all behind it. And the RP being one of the "under" allies of the big bad machine, they are made to not import, as well as reject, products from China. Sad. I mean, our country's government can't probably do anything much about it since our economy relies TOO MUCH from the big bad machine.

I'm not trying to be pro-Chinese or anti-whatever here or anything. And if you're wondering if I'm Chinese or what, no I'm not. I might have a little Chinese blood in me (15% to be exact) and might look like one, but I'm not. I am a Filipino. By culture and by heart. I'm not in anyway taking any racial sides here. I'm only elaborating on what I think is right, and what is wrong. What's fair and what's not.

Bullies and greedy are the best words to describe the big bad machine. Besides stealing another country's oil, as well as defaming (to their advantage) another one's products and raw materials... I wonder what will they do next. LOL.

Now that I got it out of me, I'm gonna stop talking about these mature and Politically-driven things and return to my normal self. Haha.
