Majority of tomato production around the world uses tomatoes from China
A recent investigation into tomato production chain revealed, with reference to the book <L’Empire de l’or rouge: Enquête mondiale sur la tomate d’industrie> written by Jean-Baptiste Malet, a French reporter, and a documentary <The Empire of Red Gold> from the story of the book, that many famous European tomato sauce brands are made with ingredients from China. Wuhan Pneumonia has engulfed the world. Prior to the pandemic, the effect of “One Belt One Road” had been surfaced with many ingredients and goods productions driven by Red (China), including tomato. Through the “One Belt One Road” exporting unfair and disqualified products, China is trying to control and swallow up human health and labor rights, leading the human kind to the hell.
2011, book author Malet discovered a tomato sauce manufacturer Le Cabanon in Provence, his hometown, was processing tomato paste in buckets marked with “Tomato Paste, by Xinjiang Chalkis Company, made in China”. This shocked Malet much because he had never imagined the tomato sauce made in a small town in south France, which he previously believed being made in France entirely, was manufactured by such semi-products from another corner of the world – China, a regime distancing far from tomato culture. Malet then visited America, France, Ghana and Italy for information re other brands.
Given the above, all ketchup used by McDonald should be from Xinjiang Chalkis Company, surely including the McDonald Hong Kong which is still owned by McDonald US for 20%, with the rest 80% held by CCP State-owned Enterprise.
