China traces dumpling poisoning to factory

Sat Aug 30, 2:22 AM ET

A row over pesticide-laced Chinese dumplings has moved a step closer to a settlement after China told Japan that a factory worker was probably to blame, NHK public television said on Saturday.

Ten Japanese became sick after eating pesticide-contaminated dumplings which had been imported from China, stirring intense media coverage earlier this year.

Japan and China have long been at odds over where the dumplings were contaminated, with both denying sabotage in their home countries.

Earlier this month, the Japanese government said China had told Japan in July that the Chinese-made dumplings had also caused food poisoning in China.

At the time China had asked Japanese officials to refrain from disclosing the incident as it was still under investigation.

Hmm.. somebody with an axe to grind against factory management or hatred against Japan?

After months of stalling and denial, China appears to finally fess up.

This was big news half a year ago, then the story disappeared. Seems they are trying to solve in a “face saving” way....

Right. I wonder if after contract negotiations broke down w/Japan, the Dumpling Plant #32 General Manager received a directive to locate a “suitable” worker for reeducation and potential organ donation?

Wages too low, or the boss starts bedding your GF...? Sure, there are ways to make the company really, REALLY feel your own pain.

If done the right way, I'd imagine you needn't say a single word, yep!

“After months of stalling and denial”

Standard protocol for public officials.
