A strange object found in a school meal in China was the head of a rat, Chinese authorities have concluded, overturning previous official reassurances that it was duck neck in the latest twist to a food safety scandal that gripped the nation for weeks
The furore has also exposed deep levels of public distrust in Chinese local governments, whose attempts to cover up negative news have often backfired. The controversy began on June 1, when a student at the Jiangxi Industry Polytechnic College in the southeastern province of Jiangxi discovered something weird in his dish at the school canteen.
‘Calling a deer a horse’ The official findings and the student’s “clarification” failed to convince the public. Instead, it fueled even more anger online, with users accusing the school and local officials of lying and pressuring the student to change his stance. Some called for an investigation into what they believed to be a “cover-up” by the local authorities. Others reacted with sarcasm, and an outpouring of memes flooded the Chinese internet.
