OH please!!! i wouldn't pay much attention to the story, its clearly made up... how could they be 'used' condoms, threatening transmission of STDs, its ridiculous.
even if its not made up....
the most that could have happened is that unused rubber material/substandard stuff from a condom making factory , that was never sold in the market for its actual intended purpose ...was used to make these...
and yeah the idea of it is gross, and i am not saying i am gonna go run buy these ....but clearly you cannot say these were "used condoms" threatening "STD transmission".
I am aware of the propaganda that the west, specially the US has started against China.... you cannot go anywhere in the world now without finding countless things "made in china"...specially US lifestyle is heavily dependent on everything 'made in china' now and US is importing a lot more from china than it would like.. ..they are getting quite jealous of China and know how quickly china is becoming an economic power aur voh issi liay aisee stories ko exaggarate kartay hein, aur har roz new story/scandal ko uchaaltay hein....and this propaganda is going to intensify now even more, that the US economy is in peril.. the US media, even respected news mdeia... will be more than happy to put anything scandalous or iffy about china or chinese made products, with a lot of masala, giving it ample air time (be it a true or exaggarated story, their perspective is still tinted).
Ofcourse rules and regulations are not ideal in china, and things are not always done right, in order to cut cost, and there may be corruption etc...but be aware of this slight propaganda going on currently by US media before you make up your mind about any such story... i have a feeling we are going to hear more and more of these now, given the situation the US is in.
