In the past 10 years, 900,000 villages have disappeared in China, and don't have their own history records. This is a pathetic way to ruin our culture. I think the government should initiate discussions on this and preserve ancient villages.

Some economic data in China was fabricated in the last few years. Although this practice was controlled last year, including promotion of mass line among officials, inspections from the central government and the auditing administration, it still exists. The fabricated data includes GDP, fiscal revenue and trade. Some of them were grossly inflated and it will take years to reconcile the differences.

Chinese people don't usually travel to Japan to buy high-priced rice. This kind of rice is frequently sold as a gift in Japan and Chinese tourists also want to buy some featured products when they travel abroad. It is not necessary to elevate the discussion on food safety. For me, I will not eat rice from Japan.
