China Smearing ? Media reports manufacturers recycling used condoms to make hair bands.?

Question

Its unbelievable, firstly, prostitution is illegal in China. secondly, where are you going to find so many used condoms ? Not to mention that health officials said it was dangerous to health as the condoms could be contaminated. Any idiot with a little knowledge can tell you that in the process of melting down will kill any germs whatsoever. I am curious to know why and how the media could print such blatant lies to discredit a nation.

Answer 1

right ... and where was that printed ?

Answer 2

CHINA COULD ONE DAY PASS U.S. AS MAJOR ECONOMIC POWER, BOOK SAYS
The rise of the Chinese economy in the 21st century is reminiscent of that of another country, says Oded Shenkar. And that country isn’t Japan or some of its Asian neighbors in the 1980s – it is the United States a century ago.
Shenkar, a professor of management and human resources at Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business, is author of the new book The Chinese Century: The Rising Chinese Economy and its Impact on the Global Economy, The Balance of Power, and Your Job. (Wharton School Publishing, 2005).
In the book, Shenkar says too many Americans have been lulled into complacency, thinking China is another Japan, a country that will challenge America’s economy for a while, and then fade from the headlines.
“China has what it takes to challenge the U.S. economy to a greater extent than did Japan, or any other country ever has,” Shenkar said.
“This does not mean the decline of American civilization. But we have to understand what is happening and make adjustments, because China is on the rise.”

China is doing a good job of smearing itself, firstly blatant copying of western technology, then actually claiming to have invented it. Chinese Internet chat-rooms are full of nonsense from China. The Olympics in China will be the most polluted ever in history and all international athletes fear breathing the air in China. The poison toy scandal is one of many horrors coming from China today

China even tries to change history using fake maps and fake "old records" of "Chinese discoveries" See the first link below. One expert said it was not made in china but the internet was full of claims for about 2 years that China "discovered america" based on this fake map

Answer 4

Very high quality condoms are made fromm rubber latex.Rubber latex condoms cannot be recycled as on heating it becomes powder.
Condoms made of other materials (pvc) can be recycled.There is no harm in recycling as heating destroys all germs.But what is the collecting mechanism for used condoms?It may be practically impossible and the news just figment of imagination only..

Answer 5

Good question: How many Chinese condoms are needed to make a head band?
This is really not a problem, the problem is Chinese pollution and Chinese copying of western technology and ignoring intellectual property rights and patents.Oh yes and they are now starting to pretend to have invented everything.
