The Japanese media quoted a senior Chinese food safety official as saying that activists opposed to Chinese government ties with Japan may have contaminated the Chinese-made dumplings that caused 10 people in Japan to fall ill.
The discovery of pesticides on the dumplings has received widespread media coverage in Japan, and has prompted health queries from nearly 4,000 people.
"A small group who do not wish development of Sino-Japanese friendship may have taken extreme measures," Kyodo news agency quoted Wei Chuanzhong, vice minister of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. Japan's health minister has also raised the possibility that the food had been deliberately contaminated.
"I call on the Japanese media to trust the governments of both countries and to aim for objective reporting," said Li Chunfeng, vice director of China's Import and Export Food Safety Bureau." TRUST? yeah right. I am a few thousand miles away from Japan, but it doesn't past the smell test that Japanese activists would have to purposely poison dumplings. The Chinese are known to do plenty of poisoning on their own without help from Japanese activists. They should trust their government as we can trust ours to protect us?
