Unbelievable!

Several news from Southern China all around Guangdong area:

1) 50 officials have been arrested over the last two days. The charge? Use public money for gambling in Macau and Hong Kong areas. One lost RMB 22 Millions. There were some prominent names. One was a deputy mayor turned anti-gambling, anti-porn head. He was charged spending RMB1.8 millions in gambling. If the central gov't cannot rely on officials to do the job, who will?

2) A day ago, the Guangzhou police broke open a gang buying sick pigs, slaughtered them and then sold them back to restaurants. On average, daily sale reached 3,000Kg. This is a pure for-profit organization with no regards of human health. The gang bought a sick pig for about RMB50 to RMB200 then turned around selling for about RMB1,000 per head (after slaughtered, of course); most of these sick pigs had the "Blue ear" disease. After slaughtered, a pig was cut in halves and then put in a big tank with agricultural chemical (dimethoate) to "remove" the smell. The meat was then cut up, shipped out frozen to restaurants, sausage factories and factory kitchens.
