Every time I buy any chinese product, I always have a second thought and I decide to buy products from Thailand, Taiwan, Japan or the Phillipinnes instead. I just can't trust their products no more.

No one with listen to you. Even though there is a wikipedia article. If you don't believe just look (Chinese_Cardboard-bun_hoax) there and even see a link directing here!

@Soteniliene of course it's going to be discovered to be a false report. Do you think anyone really wants word of this to get out? It would destroy a lot of businesses. The best way to cover up something like this is to make a public announcement that it is a hoax.

I heard that the corrupt Chinese govt. ordered the reporter to be arrested and is now spending a year in jail for his "findings". The Chinese govt. would do anything to cover-up , nobody believes them anymore when they say this is a hoax

@feeltrade: But MOST chinese are morally corrupt. Look at your cheap products , lethal toothpaste , unsafe cars etc... You have a reputation world-wide for being materialistic people. Soon , no one will want to buy from the chinese.

How is this related to Tibet? The video is talking about pork buns, not Tibetans.

And please don't even talk about the Tibet issue if you don't fully understand the issue... there are so many sides of it that just jumping on the "trendy" opinion is completely ignorant.

But I agree that the cardboard thing is pretty disgusting... there definitely should be better regulation. It is definitely better to stay safe by avoiding such products. But I guess they need to make a living in the cheapest way

im not being racist, but thats why you should never eat food from the chinese.

This report was found to be false, a hoax set up by the reporter for more views.
