Update On China's Melamine Spiking

If there is one thing that is clear, it is that massive corruption exists in China. We have posted numerous data points of this corruption over the years including many schemes that have killed untold thousands of people around the globe. The devastating and lasting impact within China is simply not quantifiable on every level.

A few months ago we highlighted a story that has received little press in the U.S., the practice in China of consciously spiking food with the poison melamine. Now Asia Times is reporting many of the shocking realities behind the melamine spiking. Basically, that human life has no value.

I've got a unique post on the unsustainable economics of these corruptions that I wrote some time ago. One thing led to another and I never got it posted. I'll refresh it and post it before the end of the year.
