On this episode of China Uncensored...
Oh no, I think it's something I ate.
Hi, welcome back to China Uncensored,
I'm your host Chris Chappell.
China has a reputation for fakery.
Just take my favorite toy of all time,
Robert Cop!
Hey, he's the furniture of law enforcement.
Now while Robert Cop may be a bad knock off,
it's also hilarious.
But you know what's not as hilarious?
Knock-off foods that could kill you
if you eat them...
or even worse,
not kill you,
but make you wish for the sweet release of death.
Let's just say the Chinese Communist Party isn't putting enough effort to food safety.
So if you ever travel to China,
here's a list of 10 foods to watch out for.
Number 10
Fake Eggs
Eggs are cheap right?
Well fake eggs are even cheaper!
According to state-run media,
some suspiciously cheap eggs were actually fakes
made from industrial chemicals.
Look, you can't make a profit
without breaking some fake eggs.
This video claims to show how the fake eggs are made.
A combination of resin, starch, coagulant, pigments,
and sodium alginate make the egg white.
The yolk is made with different resins and pigments.
And voilà!
You have a fake egg.
Once that's done, it's fit into a fake egg shell,
made of paraffin wax, gypsum powder and calcium carbonate.
All you need now is fake bacon.
Number 9
Fake Rice
Rice is a staple Chinese food.
But one particular kind of rice
is extremely popular in China.
It's called Wuchang rice.
It has a unique fragrance.
And only about 800,000 tons
are produced each year.
But somehow,
10 million tons are sold each year.
That means 92 percent of it is fake.
Rice vendors mix a small amount of Wuchang rice
with cheaper brands and sell it at a markup.
But what about the unique fragrance of Wuchang rice?
No problem.
Just spray some rice-scented perfume
on the fake Wuchang rice.
Who can tell the difference?
There have even been rumors of rice vendors
selling rice that's actually made of plastic.
"One Chinese restaurant association official
warns that eating three bowls of 'plastic rice'
is the same as eating one vinyl bag."
On the plus side, your body can't digest vinyl,
so plastic rice fits in as part of your low-carb diet.
And it probably tastes better than cauliflower rice.
The plastic rice story has never been confirmed,
but considering there are fake eggs,
plastic rice might not be too far fetched.
Number 8
Fake Pepper
This isn't anything to sneeze at.
According to my favorite Chinese state-run media, the Global Times,
the black pepper was being made out of mud.
A dirty business.
The white pepper was being made out of flour.
What was the guy's defense?
"The vendor responsible told reporters
that selling fake pepper was acceptable,
as the fake seasoning would not kill people."
Well, in a country with fake eggs,
yeah I've got to give him that.
Number 7
Fake Beef
Now at first, this one might not seem so bad
compared to what we've just seen.
Over 20,000 kilos of fake beef
was seized by Chinese authorities
after it was discovered it was actually pork.
Well that's not so bad, right?
Unless you're Muslim
and it's a deep violation of your faith.
But at least the fake beef is still made out of real meat.
Except, "Police say the confiscated meat
had been treated with chemicals
including paraffin wax and industrial salts
to make it look like beef."
Those are ok to eat...right?
Well in addition to the uh, additives
used to make this pork into beef,
let's just hope they weren't using
the same kind of pork found in China
that somehow glows in the dark.
I'm sure that's just from some heirloom glow-in-the-dark pigs.
Number 6
Fake Walnuts
Looks like a real walnut right?
Well, it is a real walnut shell.
But inside...rocks.
Vendors would remove the nut meat
and sell that separately.
Then they would fill up the shells with rocks
or pieces of cement,
glue them together,
and sell that.
Solving fake foods in China is a tough nut to crack.
Number 5
Fake Wine
China has a massive fake wine problem.
The Interprofessional Council of Bordeaux Wine
estimates that 30,000 bottles of fake wine
are sold per hour in China.
Some estimate "that 30 percent of all alcohol in China is counterfeit
and 70 percent of wine is fake."
And lets just say, this fake wine won't get you drunk...
"Some of the wines apparently
don't have fermented grape juice,
just sugar water mixed with chemicals,
But it might give you a really bad hangover...
"Some experts were reported as saying the wine additives
could cause headaches, irregular heartbeat, and cancer."
Wow, that's a rather extreme range of side effects.
Almost makes me feel better about…
Number 4
Fake Lamb
Like the fake beef,
the fake lamb was made with real meat.
Just meat from...rats.
Pop quiz!
Which is lamb and which is rat?
You can tell the difference by the fat.
In the real lamb,
the fat is actually attached,
not just some weird gross strip.
900 were arrested.
That is, 900 people.
The rats weren't arrested.
They were digested.
In fact, in the first five months of 2013,
authorities seized 20,000 tonnes of illegal meat products.
To be fair, it wasn't all rat meat.
Some was simply regular meat
that was toxic or diseased.
Number 3
Fake Tofu
I know, who in their right mind
would eat tofu anyway?
Well, here's one more reason
not to touch the stuff—
100 metric tons of toxic tofu.
The counterfeiters said they mixed the chemicals
with water, salt and MSG before steaming the mixture,
packaging it and giving it a brand name.
And one of the chemical agents used is known to cause cancer.
"Oh ee ohh, killer tofu."
Number 2
Fake Duck blood
Oh no!
Not duck blood!
Don't tell me they've turned this delicacy
into something disgusting!
In this report from my favorite state run media,
the Global Times, they...
well first they compare Chinese people to vampires.
Now I know how Angelababy
keeps her skin so white!
But the Global Times article also warns,
"watch out for fake blood."
"All sorts of harmful ingredients are added,
including formaldehyde, which is toxic
and damages the liver, kidneys and nerves."
And you don't want nerve damage.
Because you'll need a lot of nerve
to eat coagulated cakes of animal blood.
And finally, Number 1
Fake Pork Buns
This report from state run CCTV revealed
that some people were making delicious pork buns...
out of well marinated cardboard.
The cardboard is soaked in caustic soda,
a chemical base commonly used in manufacturing paper and soap.
Mmm, the longer it marinates the better.
The story got picked up by Western media
and went viral.
Chinese authorities were quick to act...
by arresting the reporter and claiming
she made up the story for views.
She was fined and sent to prison for a year.
But while the cardboard pork buns
may or may not have been a hoax,
some inventive entrepreneurs came up with
"recycled" pork buns instead.
You know, you take some expired pork buns,
freshen them up with a little flour and water,
repackage them,
and they're good as new!
So those are 10 fake Chinese foods
that may kill you.
Those who live by the yum,
die by the yum.
And before you go,
now's the time on the show
when I answer questions from fans
who support China Uncensored
on the crowd funding website Patreon.
This one comes from Arpanet-at-Cern.
Hey Chris, do you think the US would ever implement
AI Facial Recognition nationally like China?
I'd like to think not.
The United States government
is still accountable to the people
and I don't think the people here would appreciate
a proverbial eye of Sauron spying on them
at all times.
However, China is exporting its surveillance
and censorship technology to other countries.
For example, Africa.
Ok, technically Africa is a continent.
I meant African countries.
Turns out, most oppressive regimes
enjoy money and power—
and the Chinese Communist Party
is more than happy to supply those things to them.
There's also fears that China's social credit system,
where citizens are given a ranking based on behavior,
could be coming to the west as well.
But you know what, Arpanet-at-Cern?
I think you've given me a great idea for a full episode.
So remember, if you'd like to have me

Trump Launches Probe Over "Unconstitutional" Censorship Of Conservatives - Duration: 3:29.
resident Donald Trump has launched an official probe into the unconstitutional
censorship of independent journalists and conservatives on social media
following a bombshell report by vice news on Wednesday which exposed
Twitter's practice of shadow banning conservatives on the platform Trump
promised to investigate what he described as the discriminatory and the
legal suppression of conservative voices Twitter shadow banging prominent
Republicans not good he warned we will look into this
discriminatory and illegal practice at once many complaints back in January
2018 project Veritas captured Twitter employees admitting on hidden camera -
shadow banning conservatives by setting their algorithms to search
for specific speech patterns that included trigger words such as god guns
or America first to rap calm reports as perhaps the platform's most prominent
American Conservative user the matter is of close interest to Trump whose early
morning tweet soft and set the tone of a full day's news cycle Donald Trump jr.
agreed with his father's sentiment so glad people are getting involved
fighting this nonsense Trump jr. said I can't tell you the number of small
accounts and small business social accounts that have said they're getting
hit by these paths simply for being conservative leaning on Wednesday vice
news published a report saying that shadow burning of conservative voices
was real on Twitter and that the company was not taking any similar action
towards liberals according to vice the issue took the form of several prominent
Republicans not taught loading into platforms search bar which made their
profiles harder to see for average users the charge of Twitter shadow banging has
been old news and conservative media where the phenomenon has been widely
reported on in a statement yesterday Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey
repeated the company's lost pounding denial but they engage in
shadow banging but conceded that his company needed to do better we have a
lot more work to do to earn people's trust on how we work said Dorsey in a
tweet yesterday in a lengthy explanation Twitter product lead cave on Beck burr
said the issue was not caused by shadow banging but by machine learning staff
who designed to suppress accounts that were not healthy for the platform one
which seemingly only targeted conservatives in May we started using
behavioral signals and machine learning to reduce people's ability to detract
from healthy public conversation on Twitter this approach looks at account
behavior and interactions with other accounts that violate our rules
he explained some accounts weren't being Auto suggested even when people were
searching for their specific name our usage of the behavior signals within
search was causing this to happen and making search results seem inaccurate
we're making a change today that will improve this

Peak vacation week begins in S. Korea - Duration: 1:32.
Many people here in Korea will be away for their summer vacation this week.
Interestingly, this season... many chose to stay in the country instead of flying out.
Oh Soo-young has the full story.
This week is set to be the busiest week of the summer for holidaymakers in Korea.
According to a survey conducted by the transport ministry,... Koreans will make 92 million
trips during the vacation period from the end of July to mid-August,... and 40% of those
trips are happening this week.
Most holidaymakers this summer -- around 80 % --- are planning to travel within the country.
"Last year, many people headed abroad, but this year, other islands, especially Ulleungdo
Island in the East Sea, are becoming popular.
We believe it's because they've been introduced on popular television shows.
Trips have increased by roughly 20 percent.
Also, the number of days people are spending on domestic trips has increased compared to
last year."
According to the survey,... most travellers are heading to coastal regions, especially
by the East Sea, which known for its stunning views and fresh air.
"With more than 90 percent of holiday makers planning to travel by car or bus, nearly 5
million vehicles are expected to hit the roads every day this week.
Traffic will be at its peak from Wednesday to Friday."
To ensure the roads are safe for the millions of travelers,... the ministry says it will
put more road patrols and personnel on busy routes,... as well asincrease the capacity
of public transport during the peak holiday season.

Parliament and weather agency hold forum on dealing with extreme heat - Duration: 1:53.
As scorching heat continues to grip the nation.
Parliament and the nation's weather agency have put their heads together to come up with
measures to battle the heat.
Kim Mok-yeon has the highlights from that session.
The National Assembly and the Korea Meteorological Administration held a special forum on Monday
aimed at responding to the nation's worsening heatwaves.
It brought together more than a hundred people, including experts in the industry, and three
lawmakers on parliament's environment and labor committee.
In his opening remarks, the chief of the weather agency said the heatwaves should be addressed
in terms of all the ways they affect society.
"I'm expecting today's forum to diagnose the current heatwave problem from various perspectives...
and to come up with futuristic and practical countermeasures."
The forum began with lectures about how heatwaves are likely to change in the future, an analysis
of their characteristics and then possible responses.
The speakers stressed that technology needs to be used to improve forecasting, pointing
out that the current system cannot predict heatwaves beyond the next 10 days.
They also spoke about the expansion of public benefits for those most vulnerable to the
heat, such as farm and factory workers... and some foreigners who could be more sensitive
to heat related illnesses.
One lawmaker in attendance said that meteorological disasters could be handled better if people
paid more attention to them, and promised the National Assembly's utmost support.
"I hope the discussions in today's forum can act as a stepping stone to ultimately solving
the heatwave problem.
I hope today's event can pave the way to a legal, systematic solution.."
South Korea has been under dangerously hot temperatures in the past couple of weeks.
And with more coming in the next ten days, this summer could beat out 1994 as the country's
hottest year on record.
