China is Now Painting Meat - Why? 

Painting meat? Fake eggs? Yep, it's hard to believe but this is all true! Thank you for supporting my channel by watching my videos, you're Awesome! And thank you to Ekster for sponsoring this video: Grab the most badass wallet in the world: shop.ekster.com/serpentza

China does this to its own people. Imagine what they would do to everyone else.

What a complete disregard for their fellow people. Callous and disgusting behavior.

Ever since they introduced fake eggs in our shopping malls here in Uganda I started rearing my own local chicken and now at least am 💯% sure that the eggs I eat are not fake...

I went to Chinatown in Vancouver in the 90s. I was so happy to have moved nearby. I went home with beef to make a stir fry and shrimp. The meat dyed my hand red for a few days, the shrimp was rotten. I threw everything out, and never went to Chinatown again.

My mother in laws Korean. I went shopping with her at H mart once and put some frozen dumplings in the cart and some rice. She looked at them and noticed they were from China and she made me put them back. She told me never buy Chinese food products, and made me get the Korean made products instead. I guess she had a valid point.

This is true. I saw this before. And when asked why a dude at a market was colouring his fruits with obviously inedible colouring, he simply answered "they wont buy it otherwise" Which is such a lame thing. Nobody will EVER return to him if he does. Its a logic no other culture has developed.

Imagine if they put as much effort into having a legit business as they do trying to swindle people 🙄

I used to see these videos randomly over the year and would just say, “it’s china, why are you shocked? They have always been grotesque and currupt” but after watching why he left china and his goal of the channel, i realized he was one of the only pioneers who brought this to light. This man deserves respect and be appreciated for what he’s doing for the people of china and the world

As a Chinese I am deeply saddend to witness the decline in moral values. My parents warn me every year about a new scam that you might encounter. Don't help eldery who have fallen. Don't pick up something someone seems to have dropped...I hope the younger generation can get a hold of the lost value and morals.

They put more effort into faking their food quality than faking their building quality.

Here in the UK things like this happen sometimes, in salmon farms in Scotland chemicals are added to the water to make the fish red because the fish are often in a bad state and full of lice

These people are just so sneaky and dishonest. Despicable and dangerous! Thanks for sharing!🙏

Their whole society is a facade. They’ve lost all sense of morality, empathy, compassion and decency. And it’s nothing new. I saw it start in the 80’s.

If there's one thing I've learned from your channel @serpentza it's that the paint industry is doing really well in China!

as a Chinese, I need to say sorry😢😢😢 I always feel hopeless when I look at what is happening in China…I hope one day my homeland can embrace democracy so every life matters, truth matters…..

Two stories remotely related to Chinese produce (in that both were meant to be consumed, and originated in China, even if I bought them in the Chinatown in New York. 1. I once bought a couple of packets of seeds for a kind of flowering vine called Hyacinth Bean in a Chinatown supermarket, to grow in my garden. When I opened them, most contained regular beans (the seeds looked totally different) and the one that did have a few had them mixed with regular ones in the same packet! (which meant the sellers not only trusted no one would notice the wrong seed in the packets, but wouldn't ask questions as to why a packet for one thing contained two totally different seeds!) 2. A bit scarier (in that the first would not cause anyone any actual harm). I bought a bag of senna seed (used as a laxative and, originally, thought someone had dropped an orange bead in there by accident. That is, until I opened the back and out rolled a rosary pea (a seed that is so poisonous that one would be WAY more than enough to kill someone if consumed. The seeds are safe intact, but since one would use the senna by dumping the seeds into boiling water (which would cause the seed to swell and leach its poison). and then drinking the liquid, if someone had missed the pea and drank the tea, death would probably be quite more or less certain. I am pretty used to the stuff that comes in from places like China mixed in with the produce, but something that would make it instantly deadly is more than a bit worrisome.)

My dad spent most of his career traveling around the world- specifically mainland China. In his older age, he suffers from neuropathy and an elevated level of arsenic in his blood. It doesn’t escape any of us that this comes from his years traveling in China and all the food he ate in all corners of the world.

I don't have to worry about dyed meat because I'm enjoying these delicious seasoned rocks here in China. I'm on a purely rock diet. But seriously though - this video not only sickens me, but terrifies me. No telling what kind of crap I'm putting in my body. :(

Reminds me of all those videos about how photographers will use crafting supplies (paint, glue, screws, etc) to make food appear better in advertisements or on screen....except here, people are actually eating it 🤣

Corruption rolls down hill.

I'm glad I've never gone to China. I used to want to go to China but it makes me sick to think that the US even does business with China!

Don't listen to anyone saying, "oh you went over this already", this stuff bears repeating and you're possibly saving a life every time you expose these dangerous behaviors! 👍👍

I found this channel 2 yrs ago and am learning so much

THANK YOU😢 FOR SHARING THIS!

I spent 2 decades in purchasing for enormous manufacturing companies. Attended a conference in London prior to brexit, and reps from EU food safety bodies were trying to explain to buyers for British businesses why the standards exist. I've not eaten take out from ethnic restaurants since. From the hauls of illegal meat stored in chemicals smuggled from Asia to the halal restaurants using cheap dog food grade cuts of beef/mutton and chemically bleached chicken. Horrifying. My brother was in customs for years. He told me they knew exactly what shipments they'd be searching before it docked just from the destination, and it wasn't being searched for drugs. 🤢

This country is evil beyond....

Ohh!!. You Absolutely Doing Great work Brother!. Respect you. 🙏💝💯

There are many amazing, genuine, honest Chinese people I have met in my travels and business dealings and there are definitely some souless, heartless ones too...and I can say the same about every country I've ever been. But it DEFINITELY is good to be aware of stuff like this so thank you for sharing it 🙏

When I studied International Marketing in Long Beach Ca. University, I was always told never to trust the Chinese. The thing we were told was that a Chinese business man would sell his mother for a nickel, and always look to cut you short. I found out how true this was later.

In 2007 there was a scandal of meat buns made of Chopped cardboard, softened in an industrial chemical and made tasty with pork flavoring, sold in a Beijing neighborhood.

This made me recall something that happened to my while living in NYC. Where I lived there were alot of asian supermarkets in the area and I wanted to try alot of different "instant" type of foods (don't ask me why lol) and I asked the lady at the counter (she was a Chinese immigrant) if they had any authentic Chinese instant noodle stuff and she told me, without missing a beat "You don't want those, stay with the Korean or Japanese or try the Thai ones. Chinese ones are bad." And it threw me for a loop for a second cause like...I didn't know what to do with that. I bought some instant Udon noodles bowls in the end. But after binge watching your videos and learning all this stuff about how things are done in China...that lady was really looking out for me!

Merchants colouring their food products to look fresh is not just a "China phenomenom " some less than reputable markets in the USA and Canada "date switch " by changing sell by or best by dates on products that are either nearing their true sell by / best by date or have actually gone past . I remember a person telling me that a very large chain store, that He used work at would put beef blood into the old hamburger and send it back through the grinder ,or they would grind liver up with old meat to make it look fresh .He also mentioned seeing maggots crawling around in some places on the floor where meat was being cut up . In other markets in the USA food that is not fresh is made into " daily specials " as prepared meals that can actually fetch a hefty price . It's unfortunately not uncommon for produce in the US to be waxed or coloured to look ripe or fresh and attractive . You've merely exposed this trick that happened to be going on in China ,whilst it's going on in other Nations too.

It's a pity when they leave China they continue these practices

After 3 weeks in Japan recently its hard not to make comparisons with China. Pedestrian crossings? Cars stopped for me. Queues? People wait patiently and don't try to sneak in halfway. Toilets? Apart from being universally clean, Japanese toilets have toilet paper - for free, without it being stolen by grab-hags. Trains and public places where people are encouraged to be quiet - not yell into phones or yell at each other. Today's Japan is everything that China wants, but will never have, because Japanese people respect other Japanese people - and foreigners. 3 weeks in Japan? a pleasure. 3 weeks in China? Urgh! enjoy the gastro!

Much appreciate for your awsome video and the educational!

Its a freaking miracle you guys survived over there. Riding motorcycles is already crazy dangerous, but doing it in china which is one of the most dangerous places on earth is wild. Plus if you crashed not a single person would have stopped to help you. Add on top of that you guys ate street food there where they use gutter oil and painted meat, holy cow!

Shopping for produce in China is like a game of Russian roulette; you never know what you'll get.

Your view's have been fantastic lately, that's awesome man you deserve it!

Man...some of this stuff is so bizarre and hard to believe. It sucks for people being stuck with this kind of thing. This is why I don't buy Chinese/Vietnamese food products either. I became aware of this a few years back when I read about some Vietnamese sea food farms using drain water to feed shrimp. To think that there are people here in the US who complain about idiotic things while they idealize some of these places. They don't know what bad is 🤦

I recall here in the US there was a big scandal on supermarkets bleaching chicken in the 90's or so. My parents were so upset re this they stopped using the deli at the 2 local supermarkets and started to go to a local butcher instead for meats. Took years for them to return to the supermarkets. Consumers should be more upset and change buying practices when this happens.

It is indeed hard to grasp the concept of basically a society of scammers where most of people stab each other in the back on a daily basis.

Thank you for the information !!!

Money is the root of ALL EVIL.

"Nothing in China is real." And I don't blame the people who left years ago.

I find the "grab hags" so entertaining, in a sadistic sort of way. I was at a buffet lunch on the Indonesian island of Nusa Lembongan. A group of Chinese day-trippers were also in attendance. The absolute melee and sheer barbarism I witnessed was something I will never forget. I have traveled throughout Asia for many years and have found no other culture that acts this way. Who needs Hollywood when you have a group of Chinese at an all you can eat buffet.

Thank you so much your honesty channel, it’s really and truly!!

Thank you for letting us know.

I used to go to the street markets in Chinatown in NYC and on a hot summer day and the smell about knocked me out. I can only imagine what the markets are like in China.

This gives a whole new meaning to people's mistrust of things "Made in China" labels. I used to think it was some sort of racism or xenophobia, but now I have (undyed) food for thought!

I really want an answer as to why every time I eat Chinese take out in the US I end up with restless legs, a migraine and I can’t sleep for 2 nights in a row. EVERY SINGLE TIME. People tell me it isn’t the MSG, then wtf is in this food that makes my whole nervous system go haywire?

A BIG THANK YOU SIR. I HAD SEEN THE EGG MOLDING BEFORE. 👍❤️🇯🇲

In my country there is a thing we call "Chinese copper". It is an aluminum wire painted red. Chinese use it instead of copper in electric motors, usually in vacuum cleaners. Motors with aluminum instead of copper are cheaper but do not last long.

I knew an engineer who would make multiples trips to China in a year. He said he would always eat peanuts and bottled water from the vending machines when on site, then eat only at his ex-pat hotel after hours.

Thank you for the tip on " Cultivate " !

Thank you Sir, eye opening. You"re a Savour.

This channel is a must for anyone planning to spend time in China.

Where I went to college I remember a local Chinese restaurant was closed down after they caught the owners going through the trash behind Kroger searching for thrown out meat. When they were caught they claimed that is just how things are done where they came from. No one bought that line at the time but this video now has me questioning it...

Thanks for sharing this true news!

The grocery markets in the US do the same thing. Theres many documentaries on it

this is why you almost always get scammed when you buy from a chinese online store

American: "In China it's a dog-eat-dog world" Chinese: "No. It's a people-eat-dog world...with a little red dye"

Thanks for this video, thanks for the information

Most grocery store chains in the US have been painting their meat for 20 years or so. It's not just China. It's here.

Be careful buying Chinese Garlic. Here is my story: I bought Garlic at the grocery, and I picked the most beautiful attractive purple Garlic. I was assuming the garlic is the famous "hardneck garlic". When I got home, I started cooking and noticed my fingers full of purple colors. LIttle I know, the garlic was grown in China and they sprayed with purple dye. So, be careful folks - stay away from white Chinese Garlic, they soaked them in chlorine that is why it's so white.

A few days ago, there was an article on a news site here in Germany about China being the solution to fix the environmental and climate problems of the world. I had a good laugh and skipped it! 😂

I think I'm going to check the food labels very carefully now.

they do dying to crystal jewelry parts that are a popular color. alcohol washes the dye off exposing just plain crystal. i stopped buying from those suppliers plus discontinued buying the special colors

Such a disrespectful society

I remember that sulfur infused sheetrock they pushed on the World about 20 years ago. Had to tear it all out after people had moved in.

My friends and I (I was living in Canada at the time) went to Chinatown in Calgary. It was fun. They bought dumplings. I politely turned those down.

It's my understanding that they will sometimes dye fish here in the U.S. as well, and for the same reason, to make them look healthier or fresher. Salmon is the one example that comes to mind in particular, as farm raised salmon are often fed soy based food, which makes the meat look less red, unlike with wild caught salmon. Apparently, the proteins from the bugs and other things they eat make for a healthier and tastier fish.

Spraying nature and especialy living animals with toxic collours, so evil.

I landed there on a transfer years ago. I had time and wanted to leave the airport and look around . As soon as I stepped out the door I immediately started smothering . The smells and the air And was pulled back in put on O2 till it passed. And informed I would be arrested if I tried it again That's my whole interaction there It was scary

Thank you, serpentza. I would never now what's up with the Chinese without you.

I live in Chinese part of Melbourne, I can never get things on special ..and a chat with store manager help me understand why .. Chinese come and grab those items on special and resell it online or at other small convenient stores ...

This all just makes my head hurt. That there's no systems in place to stop any harm coming to people is just mindboggling.

I lived in Japan when Tiananmen square happened. US media avoided showing the actual horror that was filmed. Japanese did not hold back, so the newspaper front pages were full color gore. When I got back to the states a few months later I was baffled that no one really knew about it. Shortly after that GHWBush admin gave them something called 'most favored nation status'. Bush was wanting to open up china and chinas market to US corporate interests, so I assumed why the media semi-blackout. You got to hear that they had a protest crack down of sorts, and some guy stood in front of a tank for some reason. When America started getting flooded with chinese goods I always checked the origin of what I was buying. US made first, anywhere but China next. Then if the only option was chinese made I would ask myself "is this a real 'need', or just a 'want'?" If I really didnt NEED it then I didnt buy it. Eventually I had to give that up since everything on the planet is made in china. :(

Such A Great Job Man 👍👍👍

This video scared the 💩 out of me .. awesome reporting 👏

I came from very high-trust communities so I find it hard to deal with these kinds of people. I'm not criticizing their ethnicity. This is about a particular generation having lost all moral values due to the way their state is run.

I've heard about stores installing red lights over the meat section to make the product look better on the shelves but this is just ridiculous.

I started buying brown eggs, then iI noticed the yellow is so pale that when you scramble them they are grayish white. I stopped buying brown eggs, and boy what a difference. My scrambled eggs were a lovely yellow, now. Brown eggs are a lot more expensive too.

Seems they are quite vicious liars and cheats there.

I think you for uploading these. It puts something tangible in context I can show my kid who is obsessed with buying crap off Temu and other sites. If they do this to food, I'm sure they have NO QUALMS about doing it to the cheap cosmetic things they buy from them.

I remember while teaching English in Jinan, I loaned a teaching assistant 1800 rmb for a class she was taking. A month later she paid me back and I discovered the class was how to make fake eggs. Nice to know nothing has changed much.

Wow very sad 😢

Finding the Red ring on bowl of Campbells tomato soup. Red dye of whatever they put I. Ingredients

You know a society has a problem when one person take things out of the shopping cart of someone else... Wtf🤦‍♂️

Colored meats, a Chinese delicacy.

If you want to know more about this topic, read Death by China, written by Peter Navarro. Later, it was made into a documentary film in 2012.

En chile conocí un lugar donde pintan más roja la carne de la albacora porqué a los gringos le gusta más roja la carne de esa especie la cual es blanca

If they can do this to their OWN people, we dont stand a chance!

Wow!😮thanks for keeping up to date🗓

Shipped a couple of containers from China in 05. Needed labels for a pricing machine and found a vendor selling them at some market somewhere in Beijing. I wondered why the guy was taking so long giving me my order. The deal finally went down and I was off back to the U.S.A. When I went to load my new labels a few of them worked but 99% of the roll was damaged. All rolls were this way. The vendor wrapped a couple of layers of good labels around all these damaged rolls and stuck me with them. Clever.

Years ago i watched an undercover video of street vendors. They were grating/shredding cardboard and then adding seasoning.

Chili is also dye to red [Sudan III] in China, and I guess that sell to whole world due to it's low price.

What I learned in China is its only important how things appear, not how they truly are. Whether it's school employees faking a fun activity just to send pictures to parents (seen this), or a turnkey company refurbishing an apartment that looks nice but after a few weeks starts to fall apart (seen this), or being sold numerous items that were actually broken or useless but repackaged, made to appear working or as brand new, until after you purchased it (many many times). These are but a few of the countless examples about appearance > substance when it comes to China

From watching your channel for years, I'll never go to China.

Good Morning, just like to point out that US meat markets and grocery stores have been using red dye on their meat for decades. FYI
