China’s Upton Sinclair

May 1, 2007

Whenever I read any negative news articles about China, I don’t see a society too different from the one we celebrate in America. From a business, legal and political perspective, some analysts may contend that America and China are polar opposites. But, that is not the case. In fact, we are traveling along the same path. The difference is that China is a few steps behind. That’s all.

So, the latest episode involves the use of melamine by Chinese manufacturers in animal feed. That and the occasional mass food poisonings of humans that occur in China but do not garner as much press as when American dogs and cats get ill. Well, we’ll just have to wait for China’s Upton Sinclair to write a Chinese version of The Jungle.

The Chinese version of Upton Sinclair? Try Zhou Qing (more details about him here: http://www.lettre-ulysses-award.org/authors06/zhou_qing.html) who recently published stories behind food scare… I wonder if this will be available in English soon.
