China’s annual “3.15 Gala” revealed yet another host of scandals and scams
This March 15 produced another round of disturbing and disgusting news stories during China’s “3.15 Gala.” Produced by the state broadcaster CCTV, the annual TV show aired on World Consumer Rights Day presents a series of undercover investigations that expose wrongdoing by brands and companies.
From toxic meat in pre-prepared meals to apps scamming vulnerable people, this year’s gala sparked heated discussion online. Though some argue the gala is for show, and would prefer lasting cultural and legal shifts that preemptively prevent dubious business practices, many are grateful for even just one night devoted to consumer justice.
