He still drinks Chinese milk, says lawyer and author Mark Schaub in a discussion with Fons Tuinstra of the China Speakers Bureau on the ongoing milk melamine scandal in China. “The bigger companies were trusted too much and when it come to food security, you cannot trust anybody.”
Mark Schaub sets his trade mark as a skeptical observer of the Chinese society. “Much of this issue is really overblown,” he says. He is not expecting any death penalties, although on the Chinese internet many call for severe punishments. “It is very different from the scandal with China’s FDA, where the top-guy got a lot of money for approving drugs and was shot for that reason. I have not seen that corruption is an issue in this scandal.”
Schaub, contrary as ever, says that the action of the central government in China is much better and speedier compared to the US-government dealing with its financial crisis.
