The Chinese government always attaches great importance on food safety and
never provides expired food to the tsunami-hit countries, said spokesman of the
Ministry of Commerce Chong Quan on Sunday.
Peking University student An
Yingzhi makes a donation to tsunami-hit nations at her campus Jan. 2,
2005, as did hundreds of other students and teachers. During the New
Year holiday, people across China have been digging deep to help their
fellow human beings in vital need of aid.

Chong said some
Indonesian media recently reported that the food China provided to the
tsunami-affected areas in Indonesia was "expired of date" and "inedible", and
the media also aired a close-up shot of the date "2004.12.10" on a food package.
According to China's Law on Production Quality and Law on Food Hygiene, food
packages ought to mark the production date and safe using period. The production
dates on the food aided by China are legal and qualified by Chinese laws and
standards, said Chong.
The rumor was spread by some people with ulterior motives, taking the
advantage of the difference between China and other countries in food package
signs and most of the tsunami-affected people can not recognize the Chinese
words, said Chong.
Its purpose is to make trouble and mislead the Indonesian people. It is very
evil, said Chong.
