China rocked by cooking oil contamination scandal

I've heard many stories about Chinese food safety.

But is government oversight getting better?

Is this a story of local corruption, or of a larger corrupt system?

And if it has "millions of views" on Weibo, is this an indicator that the government takes it seriously, or just a means of entertaining the public with the latest scandal and establishing legitimacy of government intervention?

This seems like the type of thing we’d criticize china on and probably have a bad record on ourselves. We do ship giant rail cars of toxic chemicals through small towns everyday

Who else thought this would be about the Vice era gutter oil meme?

Good! Hopefully Chinese people distrust their government more and more and overthrow communism!
