Fake & Toxic Foods in China 2023: Unveiling the Unscrupulous Tactics of Profiteering Traders

Not just counterfeit liquor and meat, the Chinese market is also inundated with gutter oil, expired food, and low-quality counterfeit products, making it hard for consumers to guard against. In recent years, with the rise of online shopping and group buying platforms, unscrupulous Chinese merchants have been innovating in fraud and deception to reap huge profits. Today, we’ll go through some of these cunning methods to get rich. It will surely be an eye opener and turn your understanding upside down. Why is there such a prevalence of counterfeit goods in China? This can be attributed to a trickle-down effect. The Chinese Communist Party, since its inception, has been riddled with corruption, lies and deceit. Nowadays, this manifests as widespread fabrication in the news, statistics, and even in officials’ academic qualifications. Under such a corrupt regime, coupled with its promotion of atheism, a widespread lack of faith and a focus on money and self-interest have arisen among Chinese citizens. This, in turn, has led to a multitude of unscrupulous merchants losing their moral compass and resorting to any means necessary for profit, making food safety an infinitely dangerous issue. #fakefood #streetfood #chinaobserver All rights reserved.
