Would Taiwanese consumers really accept it?<BR/><BR/>Many Taiwanese were already skeptical about the quality of Chinese food products as it was. This is like the realisation of the worst fears. Images of poor little babies have become the face of the whole Chinese milk industry. Goodness, what a PR catastrophe! This is the type of thing that takes a decade to undo. <BR/><BR/>Hong Kong has no choice but to import Chinese food. The Taiwanese at least have enough land to make going local expensive but not impossible.Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552370490869601403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-92013392121346790342008-09-25T11:12:00.000+08:002008-09-25T11:12:00.000+08:00If we can assume that Wong is a Chinese speaker, t...If we can assume that Wong is a Chinese speaker, then we are seeing a COMPLETE FABRICATION -- yellow journalism at it worst-- because it's a major news service and presumably the article was RESEARCHED.<BR/><BR/>Sham on you AP!
