Taiwan and China: Fury over poisoned powdered milk made in China · Global Voices
I-fan Lin

The powdered milk products, produced by the Sanlu （三鹿） Group in China, were found to be contaminated by  melamine after hundreds of babies in China got sick with kidney stones. One baby in the Gansu province, China, died because of that.
25 tons of powered milk products manufactured by the Sanlu Group were exported to Taiwan this August, and this news caused extensive panic in Taiwan.
Sinhong talked about how late people were informed by the China government about the powdered milk contamination.
今年三月，中國境內即傳出有嬰兒喝出問題，六月中傳出病例報告，奶粉出口到台灣即在此時，八月初中國三鹿公司驗出奶粉含有毒的三聚氰胺，卻九月十一日才封存回收，十二日傍晚才通知台灣。
Eric further criticized how Taiwan government ignored the warning and acted slowly.
人命關天的大事，十二日接到電話的海基會竟感覺「善意」，而後府院噤不做聲，見事態愈演愈烈後，到昨日才由劉兆玄召開跨部會議下令展開交涉，這種末梢神經近乎麻痺的狀態，最可能的病因只有一個，就是唯恐破壞馬英九上台後一路「呵護」的兩岸氣氛…影響所及，連人民最基 本的生命健康都無能保障。
Sinhong also talked about the possibility that the China government covered this scandal because of the Olympic Games this August.
中國隱瞞毒奶粉事件與北京奧運脫不了關係，京奧在八月八日到二十四日舉辦，之前，中國政府就下令全面掩蓋有損國家形象事件，毒奶粉驗出含毒正在奧運舉辦前夕，顯示中國當局為了面子，草菅人命，還禍延他國，專制顢頇，罔顧人命，令人髮指！
The Sanlu Group claimed that the melamine found in their powdered milk was added by the dairy farmers and milk dealers to meet the nitrogen standard after they added water to dilute the milk. However, not everyone believes their claim.
Eric reasoned based on the milk powder production process.
添加三聚氰胺以提高含氮量的原理，必須具有一定專業知識，因此所謂獨由酪農下手的可信度實在不高。
Williamlong also reasoned based on the chemical property of melamine.
三聚氰胺是不溶于水的白色粉末，怎么可能掺入牛奶中呢？即使掺入也无法溶解，产生沉淀。因此三聚氰胺应该是后期直接掺入奶粉之中的。
Lianyue, who is a Chinese, appealed to China government for taking this scandal seriously, finding the real problems, and solving the problems.
若不彻查所有涉及人员…中国乳制品业一同崩溃。三鹿这样的企业都下毒，人们有理由相信，其他企业也有嫌疑。三鹿为了自保，可能放风它的做法是行业“公开的秘密”，拉着整个行业一同陷入信任危机。…中国的食品业接着垮台。连自己的孩子都可以毒，那么，还有什么底线？毒毒宠物，毒毒青少年、成年人，不更是毫无顾忌吗？中国制造由于连连涉毒，在国际上已经恶名远扬，三鹿这次安然过关，就等于让三鹿为大家敲下最后一根棺材钉。
There was also rumor saying that Baidu took money from the Sanlu Group and helped them filter opinions harmful to the company when people search on Baidu. t4822k11b said,
三鹿的危机公关解决方案被内部员工曝光，其中内容显示三鹿如给百度支付300万公关保护费，百度就通过搜索技术屏蔽三鹿负面新闻。…百度的这位公关经理还解释说：“在百度上搜一下，之前的负面新闻都在，这就是最好的证据。”…通过搜索发现，百度上所有的三鹿负面新闻，都是在9月12日后开始出现的。用网上广为流传的热帖标题“三鹿，在小朋友的生命健康面前请不要表演”作为关键词搜索，9 月12日下午，google显示11400篇，而百度在9仅能显示11条；9月13日上午，google显示11800篇，百度却一下子上升到54条。
