China is known for many things, but theyre perhaps most infamous for their counterfeit items. From clothes to bags to electronics—even whole towns—China has it all. However, theyve recently taken the counterfeit business a little further and have entered the disturbing realm of counterfeit foods. 曾经辉煌灿烂的历史文化让中国声名远扬，但现在一波接一波的造假事件又让中国的形象有些狼狈。从衣服到包包再到电子工业，甚至一整座城市，聪明的中国人都可以仿制得真假难辨。最近一些造假分子又把贪婪的触角伸向食品行业。 10.Plastic Rice 10.塑料大米 If theres one food that should be impossible to counterfeit, it would be rice. But the Chinese did it anyway. Chinas fake rice is also called plastic rice. Its made from potatoes, sweet potatoes, and synthetic resin molded into the shape of real rice. The faux rice was commonly sold in Chinese markets, especially in Taiyuan in Shaanxi Province. The rice remained as hard as stone even after it was cooked and did not digest easily. Its also pretty dangerous, since consuming three bowls of it is equal to consuming one bag of vinyl, or one plastic bag. 几乎所有人都不相信大米也能造假，但聪明的中国人最爱挑战，想出用土豆、甘薯和松香混合，制作出的塑料大米晶莹剔透，与真大米几乎无异。这种人造大米即使用开水煮也十分坚硬，吃下肚很难消化，可怕的是吃三碗人造大米就相当于吞下一只塑料袋，对人体的危害可想而知。 Aside from producing artificial rice, dishonest Chinese rice sellers also add flavors to ordinary rice and sell them to the unsuspecting public as Wuchang rice, which is more costly and generally considered one of the better brands of rice sold in Chinese markets.

In other words, more than 9 million tons are fake. 除了这种做法，利益熏心的稻米供应商还会在大米里添加香味剂，然后贴上五常大米的标签摆放在超市的货架上，经常逛超市的主妇们一定了解五常大米产于黑龙江五常县，那里长出的大米色泽青白剔透，口感绵软微甜，市场上价格要比其他品牌的大米高出许多，供应商们看到有利可图，纷纷开始高仿五常大米。人们吃着香甜扑鼻的米饭浑然不知化学药品也在跟???进入体内。数据显示，五常县每年只出产八十万吨的优质大米，市面上这种大米的销售量却有一千万吨。换句话说，你懂的。 9.Rat Mutton 9.挂羊头卖鼠肉 When theyre not tampering with rice, dishonest Chinese food sellers are adding chemicals to meat from rats, minks, and foxes and selling them as mutton. The scheme was so popular and successful that the police arrested more than 900 pe
