Chicken in the coal mine

Posted: September 10th, 2007 - 9:14am by Doug Powell

One Chinese family on the southern island province of Hainan decided to test a bottle of water on a chicken to see what would happen.

The Beijing News, citing a report in a local paper, said, "The result was the chicken died within a minute," and showed a picture of a man holding a plastic bottle squatting over the crumpled body of the bird.

The story says that barely a day goes by without some new scandal over a made-in-China product, be it toys, toothpaste or fish, which has raised safety concerns in major export markets around the world.
