On July 13 we reported on a story that a Dim-Sum restaurant had been caught serving pork flavored cardboard in their buns.
Today is was reported further that the reporter made the entire story up.
Xinhua News Agency reported that Zi Beijia made the story up to get media airtime.
“The Beijing Public Security Bureau has taken the criminal suspect, Zi, into custody and he will be severely dealt with according to law.”
Zi apparently purchased the materials and hired a few migrant workers to make the buns as he recorded them.
Beijing Municipal Food Safety Office spokesman stated further that even a small part of the product being cardboard would be easily noticeable and hard to chew to anyone who ate them.

I think this sounds like a government cover up. This story and a few others like it has caused the USA to restrict imports of Chinese manufactured food products. This has caused a lot of damage and now the Chinese government is trying to say it is all made up.
These days, almost everything edible you can think of is fake in China, or, from China. I have heard stories of soy sauce being fake, they used human hair to produce, not even its disgusting, its just effin wrong! I was also told NOT to buy ANY products that goes into your mouth, any kind of food, regardless if its liquid or not, from ANY Asian supermarkets. But if you do, look at where its made of, stuffs from Hong Kong (tho its part of China), and Taiwan are safe. Foggettabout those fake Chinese crap, they could kill ya !!
