Please tell me this isn’t true.But if it comes from China, would one still wonder if some unscrupulous, greedy, businessman would come up with some ghoulish, if not bizarre, product just so he could make a fast buck by selling it at a very low price and for idiotic reasons?
It is still fresh in everybody’s mind the recalled dangerous toys made in China that followed a series of health scandals worldwide involving food, drugs and other products imported from China, from poisoned cough syrup to tainted toothpaste and pet food.
What has been uncovered in South Korea (SoKor) recently could very well be the mother of all product anomalies coming from China.
SoKor custom authorities recently revealed a disturbing find when they intercepted thousands of smuggled capsules filled with the powdered flesh of dead babies, believed to be stamina boosters and having medicinal powers. Indeed, this is very Chinese in concept.
Reportedly made in northeastern China, the contents are said to have been dried in microwave.
The intended recipients of the capsules, transported via luggage and mail, were ethnic Koreans who have moved to South Korea after living in China.
Nearly 17,500 capsules have been recovered since August 2011, the Korea Customs Services said in a statement.
According to the custom authorities the smuggling have been on the radar of customs officers since a Korean investigative report aired in August, 2011, revealed that some hospitals in China sold dead fetuses and placentas to illegal manufacturers.
SoKor has reportedly been reluctant to criticize China directly over the incident, out of fears of creating diplomatic friction with the country.
But does this mean that the world community will condone this perverse business by some wicked Chinese entrepreneurs?
