U.S. EXPORTS CHICKEN TO CHINA THEN IMPORTS BACK FAKE CHICKEN

July 13, 2015 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Fake noodles. Fake eggs. Fake beef.

Recent media reports show that some Chinese companies have been manufacturing fake food using both organic and inorganic ingredients. These fake food have yet to find their way to America (or have they, already?)

Well, fake chicken from China may soon hit the shelves and refrigerated sections of U.S. supermarkets, and the U.S. government may have had a hand in it.

In 2014, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) gave four Chinese companies approval to export cooked poultry products to the United States. But it was largely a symbolic move.
That’s because the only chickens that China can legally export to the United States must first be imported from countries that have USDA approved poultry standards. America, Canada and Chile are the only countries that make the grade.

So some enterprising Chinese food manufacturers import USDA-approved chicken from the U.S., sell them locally at extremely profitable margins, then produce fake chicken to export back to the U.S.

Looks like China did put one over the United States.

For Filipinos in the U.S., their chicken adobo may never taste the same again…

DONALD TRUMP ANGERS ASIANS AND ASIAN AMERICANS

July 1, 2015 Pol Pinoy 3 Comments

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Donald Trump’s disparaging remarks about Mexicans continue to wreak havoc on his business relationships, first with Univision, then NBC Universal, and now Macy’s. All have severed their ties with the presidential candidate.

Now, he has also angered Asians and Asian Americans for proposing to build a “great wall” on the U.S. southern border to keep Mexicans out.

Asians took offense with the comment, saying that Trump practically disrespected one of the world’s greatest wonders — the Great Wall of China — and what it represents.

The Great Wall — or the majority of it — was built during China’s Ming Dynasty, considered one of the greatest eras of orderly government and social stability in human history. “In using a reference to the Great Wall in his misguided tirade against what he believed to be Mexican rapists, drug addicts and criminals, Trump has belittled a world symbol of greatness, determination and resiliency,” a spokesperson for an Asian American coalition said.

So, not only has Trump lost the Latino vote, but also the Asian American vote. Ironically, a new poll shows Trump surging to second place behind former Florida Governor Jeb Bush in the crowded race for the Republication nomination for president.

Maybe, his message of keeping America free of non-white people is resonating with many conservative voters?

WARDROBE MALFUNCTION: PHILIPPINES AT WAR WITH CHINA?

June 11, 2015 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

SINGAPORE (The Adobo Chronicles ) – Peace-loving Filipinos always know how to display or wear the Philippine flag. Or do they?

At the Southeast Asian Games in Singapore, Filipino track and field athletes, including gold medalists Eric Shaun Cray and Kayla Richardson, were photographed wearing uniforms with an inverted Philippine flag.

The blue stripe is always on top and the red stripe on the bottom — unless the Philippines has declared, or is at war, with another country. The athletes’ uniforms had the red stripe on top.

Athletics chief Philip Juico explained later that it was just a mistake by the supplier.

Unconfirmed reports say that the uniforms were made in China.

China and the Philippines are currently involved in an escalating territorial dispute over oil-rich islands in the South China Sea, known as the Spratly islands.

Hmmmm.
