Somehow I don't think this is a hoax. It's just Beijing spin, trying to save face. I bet Zi Beijia is not a happy man now. He made the Chinese look bad in the world community, something that will not be easily forgiven. I wouldn't be surprised if he commits suicide by shooting himself three times in the back of the head.

Additionally will they try to bring Zheng Xiaoyu back from the dead? (He was the head of the Food & Drug Administration who was recently executed).

So they’ve arrested the reporter that broke the story. Wow! I’m glad the ever-truthful Chinese fascist/communist government took this dangerous criminal off the streets.

Which to believe? That a journalist would lie or a communinist official would lie?

More like he was a plant, made to file an obvious false story, that would cast doubt on all of the other legitimate stories.

There’s a strong picture that is starting to emerge here - avoid ANYTHING that goes into your mouth if it comes from China!!

There, see how simple that is!!??

Mythbusters guys ate cardboard to compare it to the cereal it once contained, does that count?
