Revisiting the Chinese milk crisis

About 2 months after it was publicized that melamine was causing thousands of babies to be sick, Sanlu is near collapse with many of its plants being sold and Fonterra, the New Zealand dairy giant, has sold much of its stake of Sanlu and looking at Sanlu as great lost in millions of investment. After 2 months, I still get disgusted at what happened at Sanlu, the Chinese government, the corrupted officials and those who put melamine into the milk. It really is disgusting and a shame. Sanlu was the biggest and most trusted dairy brand in China. People, millions of people trusted it, parents feed their babies and children Sanlu milk powder formula and other milk products thinking that they gave the best to their love ones, but no. The disgusting thing is that Chinese can't even trust their own brands that were controlled by the government. In another word, people can't even trust their government to make sure its people gets safe food to consume. What the heck is that? When Fonterra found out, it tried to get the milk off the shelf, recalled. Fonterra invested hundred of millions into Sanlu, thinking that it was a safe and profitable investment with up to 40% ownership of Sanlu. However, Sanlu was unresponsive. Being one of the biggest companies in New Zealand, Fonterra urged its government, the New Zealand government to talk to the Chinese government. It did and the Chinese government was unresponsive. There were evidents of a covering up campaign. Some Chinese officials were sacked and news editors struggled with holding their news reporters back from the story because of pressure from the Chinese government to keep it down until the end of the Olympics.

A short nap and a filling lunch really put the energy back into me...at least for a little while.

Lo was hard to understand but I think the leaders also were responsible for bring up concerns or topics to talk about.
However, he has to clamp down on his emo. I am not sure if he notices it but his emo really affect the people around and the
I am behind schedule by about a week or more.

I think as a relatively young person, humility and self-reflection is extremely important because there are simply too much to learn in this period to be stubborn or shutted off. The problems now is that many people are very stubborn, overly subjective, rather narrow-minded and dominant in their worldview regardless of all the different issues and available solutions and information out there. I don't want to be like that.
