The film is about a chemical pesticide company in the United States. The pesticides produced by the company are carcinogenic to the human body, and most of the victims are children. In the film, the lawyer of the pesticide company's self-reflection in the detention center is shocking enough. Over the years, I have been helping people with dirty things, helping people deal with more than 400 drug centers, revising a hundred proposals, changing meeting venues five times, and processing 85,000 files... I, this weird creature, was sent here. Eat, drink, and protect these cancer-causing molecules, is this fate?"
That's it, a huge lawsuit is required to get a claim, and it's a lawsuit that's basically unwinnable, if it weren't for the protagonist Michael Crichton (and not a good guy) The truth was revealed by accident, and the big company was brought down (the big company was preparing to take off the shell), and maybe it was nothing. I was very depressed at the time. Compared with the Sanlu poisonous milk powder, 6,244 infants and young children suffered from kidney stones, of which 158 suffered from acute renal failure and 3 deaths. The solution in China is quite neat...
Without any lawsuits, the Hebei Province of the Communist Party of China issued an order to remove the deputy secretary of the Shijiazhuang Municipal Party Committee and mayor Ji Chuntang, Shijiazhuang City Deputy Mayor in charge of agricultural production Zhang Fawang, Shijiazhuang City Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Bureau Director Sun Renhu, Shijiazhuang City Food and Drug Administration Zhang Yi, director of the Bureau, Li Zhiguo, director of Shijiazhuang Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau, and Tian Wenhua, Secretary of the Party Committee of Sanlu Group Co., Ltd. Tian Wenhua was also under criminal detention by Shijiazhuang police.
Back then, when I first knew that Sanlu milk powder contained melamine, I already had an outline in my mind, so I replaced my daughter with imported milk powder when I went back. 69 batches of products from 22 infant milk powder manufacturers detected melamine with varying levels.
When there was a problem with Sanlu milk powder, some articles on the Internet pointed out that the relevant departments received reports and started investigations in March, but they did not pay attention. The key to the economy lies in good enterprises. For the development of enterprises, local governments can enjoy tax exemptions, exemptions from inspections, a large number of preferential policies, and suppress negative information, not to mention that Sanlu is a key support unit of the state.
In the stage of primitive accumulation of capital, extraordinary means will be used in extraordinary times. When the Sanlu problem was exposed, no dairy company came forward to say that our dairy products do not have melamine, so I realized that the Chinese dairy industry has fallen collectively.
Excessive speed, ultra-capacity, and disregard of safety expansion, not only exist in China's dairy industry? As long as there is strong market demand and lack of regulation, there are always security incidents or industry scandals. Among them, the collective and unconscious greed of market operators, the slow supervision of officials, the fluke mentality of thinking that they can "cover up" the facts, and the intertwined interest relationship between officials and businessmen are the main reasons why the problem is difficult to contain. The government's control of the media also provides an umbrella for dereliction of duty officials and encourages luck.
This is the same at home and abroad.
America's democracy and human rights focus on evidence, which has brought long-standing lawsuits. China's quick and decisiveness may also cover up some of the root causes and truths (if it wasn't exposed by the media, I don't know what to expect from the Year of the Monkey).
If "Michael Crichton" is just a fictional story, then the movies "Never Compromise" and "Breakthrough", which were adapted from real events in the United States several years ago, are more educational in today's China. Commercial interests manipulate all aspects of society, information cannot be transparent, the media cannot supervise, rights protection is difficult, and supervision is insensitive...
In the movie "Never Compromise", Julia Roberts accidentally discovered a major pollution incident in the community. Wastewater is harmful to human health. On the one hand, her livelihood job requires her not to expose the incident. On the other hand, it is the tragic life of the pollution victim. Under this pressure, she finally chose to side with the latter. Won a massive $333 million in damages for the residents of Hinkley. The weak overcome the strong, and justice has finally been served.
"Breakthrough Insider" tells that the vice president of a big tobacco company played by Clauso has signed a non-disclosure agreement with the tobacco company. He cannot disclose the company's internal secrets, otherwise he will lose a very important medical insurance, Car loans, mortgages, and business secrets also have ulterior motives behind them. It's not easy for the producer played by Pacino to send a revealing news. He stands alone on the opposite side of the entire NBC, giving his news material to competing peers in a desperate situation. Is he looking for justice? Maybe, but more for a statement.
Going out of the movies and watching today’s China, the gap between the rich and the poor is constantly widening, and a considerable number of vested interests have power. Easy), high-ranking companies can easily make huge profits, bribe regulators by the way, the government needs political achievements, high taxes, and employment expansion... The consequences are obvious and easy to see. The social phenomenon that appeared in the United States more than ten years ago , China may appear more and more.
