Mariya I urge you to take a little more care in what you read. It is extremely important to learn how to discern fake news from reality.
These stories have been created to turn people into fearful consumers, suspicious of anything that is sourced in China or countries from certain parts of the world.
It is onlinemon to onlinee across stories spread thru social media making shocking claims… But not that difficult to do a little fact checking to determine if there’s any truth behind the claim.
The fake rice story will not die because it has an audience that is willing to keep spreading the lie… Whatever the reasons someone initiated the claim, which goes back many years, it is irresponsible to keep passing it on. It not only hurts the business in question, but society as a whole by increasing suspicion towards other cultures.
