What surprises me is not the supposed “suicide” but that most of the Western media is reporting it without any question about its veracity. The BBC story a cite below at least implies, a little, that something isn’t right with this report. How typical, though, that the depraved Communist pit of China figures killing symbolic individuals will wash it clean of the establishment’s involvement in the poisoned and defective exports.
To say nothing that more dead people are supposed to make the world more comfortable going to China for the Beijing Olympics. Not for everyone apparently, especially those pesky Human Rights activists who have started a worldwide torch relay to encourage a boycott of those game. Good for them.
Chinese toy boss ‘kills himself’
The boss of a Chinese toy firm involved in a huge safety recall has committed suicide, Chinese media has said. Zhang Shuhong, who co-owned the Lee Der Toy Company, was reportedly found dead at his factory in southern China.
About 1.5 million toys made for Fisher Price, a subsidiary of US giant Mattel, were withdrawn from sale earlier this month. Many were made by Lee Der…Zhang killed himself on Saturday, according to the Southern Metropolitan Daily and other news sources.
He reportedly hanged himself in his factory.
“When I rushed there around 5pm, police had already sealed off the area,” the newspaper quoted a manager at the firm as saying. “I saw that our boss had two deep marks in his neck.”
The news report did not give a reason for Zhang’s apparent suicide, but Lee Der was known to be under pressure after the huge product recall.
“I saw that our boss had two deep marks in his neck.”
And that’s supposed to be evidence of suicide? It’s pretty obvious what really happened. This man was killed by a vampire.
The chinese company owners and government officials that are found to have embarrassed (lose face) Communist China seem to meet a number of untimely deaths. The Communist Chinese government is trying to do everything that it possibly can to appear to be fixing these confidence busting scandals prior to the world coming to Beijing for the Olympics.
The spiking of the wheat gluten to have a fake protein content was nothing but greed, the relabeling of diethylene glycol as glycerine was greed. But this greed goes all the way up the chain in China, you can’t produce something without paying bribes and greasing the wheels of the corrupt greedy communist government.
Purges are common in regimes such as communist China, look for a lot more to happen as they get ready to welcome the world.
I will miss watching the Olympics, but I see no reason to give money to the Chinese government to further oppress her people. My small part as a consumer is I do my best to not buy products from China. Given a choice between a product from Mainland China and just about anywhere else in the world, I will choose elsewhere.
One is reminded of Abu Nidal being found by Saddam’s secret police having “killed himself” with several dozen gunshots to the chest.
I see Mattell ran a goopy “we are SOOO concerned!” ad in USA Today this morning, signed by their big cheese.
Hey, clown. You’re not sorry. You got caught is all.
I hope that Mattell, or maybe Black & Decker, or some other famous company, ends up having a really nasty, killer event on the grand scale of the Bon Vivant visicois (however you spell the Frnch for “cold potato soup”) case in the 1960s or so. Some product catastrophe that drives a large, cut-costs-regardless company that does not test or check the products they slap their name on. Let something run these horrid people completely out of business.
Only then are we going to stop this flood of defective or downright dangeous stream of products from China.
I buy imported stuff; we have a world economy. But, Japan, Korea, India, Thailand, and Taiwan all make quality goods. The Chinese cheat and cut corners unless you stand over them constantly.
