I guess the whole world got a shock when the news of a food vendor using cardboard to make port bun was revealed in China. And just when our eyes and mouth are still wide opened from this news, something more interesting (but definitely a better news) is discovered...
The Beijing police have detained a television reporter for fabricating that "investigative story" about steamed buns stuffed with cardboard. Yes... those cardboard pork buns are not for real! Phew~
Apparently an employee surnamed Zi had fabricated the report to garner higher audience ratings for the TV program. He actually provided all the cardboard and asked the vendor to soak it. When the police investigated this incident, a city-wide inspection of steamed bun vendors had found no such cases.
Beijing TV had apologized for failing to check the report's authenticity and said it would make efforts to improve staff ethics. Oh well... after they achieved their goal of getting more viewers!
Anyway, this is a copy of how that "investigative story" goes...
