The mystery surrounding an outbreak of food poisoning in Japan that has been linked to Chinese made dumplings deepened today after the health minister, Yoichi Masuzoe, said they may have been deliberately contaminated.
The case came to light last week with reports that 10 people had fallen ill after eating frozen dumplings produced by Tianyang Food Processing in Hebei province, China. The victims suffered from nausea and diarrhoea, and a five year old girl briefly fell into a coma.
... "The circumstantial evidence we have so far suggests there is a high possibility that a crime has been committed," Masuzoe said. "That means we must let the police investigate. I hope the case can be resolved through our cooperation with China."
Police reportedly suspect the dumplings were contaminated in China, as the offending chemical - a highly toxic pesticide called methamidophos - is not used in Japan.

I'm tellin' ya' man, after thousands of years, it still the same. Japan and China hate each other.
Japan doesn't like the Koreans who don't like the Chinese or Japanese. And the Chinese think they're superior to all Asian countries. It looks like a small thing but it's big to them. All those countries are just waiting for a chance to poke each other in the eye over something, anything.
The Chinese more than likely just accidentally contaminated the dumplings but of course the Japanese think it's a conspiracy. I'm tellin' ya it never ends. :rotf:
