Public outrage is mounting in China over allegations that a major state-owned food company has been cutting costs by using the same tankers to carry fuel and cooking oil – without cleaning them in between.
The scandal, which implicates China’s largest grain storage and transport company Sinograin, and private conglomerate Hopefull Grain and Oil Group, has raised concerns of food contamination in a country rocked in recent decades by a string of food and drug safety scares – and evoked harsh criticism from Chinese state media.
It was an “open secret” in the transport industry that the tankers were doing double duty, according to a report in the state-linked outlet Beijing News last week, which alleged that trucks carrying certain fuel or chemical liquids were also used to transport edible liquids such as cooking oil, syrup and soybean oil, without proper cleaning procedures.
Are you absolutely sure “China has a large and diverse ethnic population” doesn’t help my argument?
Israel has a diverse ethnic population, so no. It doesn’t. Israel is still an ethnostate. It was even an ethnostate when it gave Palestinian territories semi-autonomy.
One of the jokes of the Israeli enthostate is how loosely it is applied. Afrikaner Protestants can convert to Judaism in order to gain citizenship, while Beta Israelis and Safardic Jews are subject to abuse and discrimination almost as harsh as any Arab native.
But then so much of the Israeli claim to diversity boils down to “we have every kind of European”.
Describing China as “majority Han” means about as much as describing Europe as “majority White”.
Your ignorance and your bigotry are both showing:

I do look forward to finding out why those people all count as European. I’m kind of wondering if “Jew” = “European” to you for that matter…
When did I describe China that way? Please quote me. Unless, of course, you’re trying to dishonestly put words in my mouth. Is that what you’re doing?
My god, dude. You just built your case on “Ethnic subgroups don’t count” and now you’re back here defending Israel on the same grounds?
Are you some kind of weird niche Zionist-supremacist?
I will not continue this discussion with you until you show me where I said China was “majority Han.”
