NZ dairy firm criticised over China milk scandal – 29 Nov 08
New Zealand company Fonterra, the world’s largest dairy exporter, has been criticised for how it handled the China tainted milk scandal.
Fonterra owns a 43 per cent stake in Chinese firm San Lu, one of several companies that sold dairy products tainted with the industrial chemical melamine.
Al Jazeera’s Tony Birtley discovers that farmers’ anger over Fonterra’s perceived slowness to reveal the extent of the problem is now threatening further business ventures in China.

90% of US produced powder milk contains melamine, just Google it !
Its even on the FDA’s site, it recently states that melalmine is now safe …LoL when it stated that any melamine was not acceptable during the tainted milk crisis in China !
American news media lies and greedy corporate businesses control the FDA !

heyyy guess what, they just found out that milk produce in America(my home fucking country) is even worse than China’s milk,(some brand)… sad….

How does the existence of the British global empire or the Chinese global empire deflect responsibility for poisoning Chinese milk from the Chinese to the New Zealanders? Does the historical position of China as victim of Western and Japanese colonialism absolve present day Chinese of any responsibility for their criminal acts? Even if the victims of those criminal acts are the Chinese people themselves almost exclusively?
December 16th, 2008 at 10:47 am
No ad hominem please. The Chinese closed inwards while the British founded a global empire.
December 16th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Your ignorance is astonishing. The Chinese invented profit making 10,000 years ago, when the AngloSaxons lived in caves. The melamine was put into the milk by the Chinese as a means of profit maximization. Your attempts to deflect responsibility from the Chinese to NZ is peculiar and wholly lacking in evidence. It would be amusing had there been no victims.

I wish I could channel you strength, but it’s just a youtube comment at the end of the day.
Vegan for 3 years, stronger than I’ve ever been.
Peace.
December 19th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
No, but the Anglosaxons in NZ force the Chinese to buy their milk and replace their milk source. In other issues the Anglosaxons force everybody to do whatever. The whole profit making culture has been invented and imposed by the Anglosaxons.
December 21st, 2008 at 10:57 am
So how did the more powerful AngloSaxons actually force the ChineseCommunists to poison their own dairy supply? And are the AngloSaxons responsible for the mass exodus of Chinese worldwide? Are the AngloSaxons using Chinese emigrants to colonize the world?
December 22nd, 2008 at 4:41 am
No, because AngloSaxons are more powerful. The invasive use of power is the problem with the AngloSaxons. They are the ultimate and original capitalist culture, who created industrialism, colonized the world and live in a merciless class society, worse than Finland.
December 25th, 2008 at 2:28 am
Why do you think the AngloSaxons are able to force other nations to do things? How were the AngloSaxons, for instance, able to force the ChineseCommunists to poison China’s dairy supply? Is it because AngloSaxons are more intelligent than Chinese?
December 26th, 2008 at 11:05 am
No, the anglosaxons force other cultures to do and use their big corporations, in quite the same way as they did militarily during the British Empire. Alas, the Americans too are a former British colony.

I agree somewhat. As I am thinking about becoming a vegan again.
T’was the most healthiest ever

All capitalist mentalities are about the bottom you ignorant racist pissant.
Keep food local, and what the fuck are we even drinking milk for?
Fuck milk.

Very good report, but calling China Communist was horrifyingly wrong.
China has adopted the 1930’s version of US Capitalism. So, please, Al Jazeera, don’t make that mistake again.
January 3rd, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Chinese are following the capitalist copybook – profits over people – just like Western business crooks

January 7th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
well put anna
January 10th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
See this is what happens when you trust the Chinese Communist Party’s business methods
China only cares about making money, and will shaft the consumer to make that quick buck.
Companines it’s ok to buy/sell electronics from China (if you must) but NEVER manufature your foods/medicines/pet foods in China
Unless, you want to lost $80,000,000+ like this company did, and your hard earned reputation down the crapper
January 14th, 2009 at 12:23 am
My bias is that I’m a NZer, not associated to Fonterra at all. What I’m saying is that if it were not for Fonterra involvement the Chinese Government could have ignored the issue and covered it up. An example of this is the thousands of children killed in the recent earthquake due to sub standard construction. I am VERY upset that Fonterra has risked New Zealand’s reputation for high quality pure foods by making deals with companies it has no control over.
January 16th, 2009 at 4:19 am
Your point is the New Zealanders forced the Chinese to poison their dairy products?
January 17th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
The point you miss is that China has a whole different view of the value of human life from the West. In China itself, during the Maoist era, tens of millions died in govt. contrived famines known as the Great Leap Forward and the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. So to the Chinese, what’s 4 kids dying or 50,000 kids hospitalized? To the Chinese, it’s a tempest in a teapot.
January 20th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
hmmmm…so your point is that Fonterra was nowhere near the problem at the time…and they didn’t know nothing…and this is all China’s fault because Fonterra has no control over its assets or production line in China. Fonterra ‘didn’t blow the whistle either’ by the way. Four kids dying, and many, many more getting sick is what did that. By the way, what’s your role at Fonterra?
