China denies claims of selling canned human meat labelled as corned beef to Africa.
After rumours on social media made tabloid headlines, the ambassador was forced to deny claims that companies in China were marinating dead human bodies and then packaging them as corned beef to be sent to Zambia.
i News reports:
Yang Youming, the Chinese Ambassador to Zambia, was not impressed.
“Today a local tabloid newspaper is openly spreading a [rumour], claiming that the Chinese use human meat to make corned beef and sell it to Africa,” he said, Xinhua news agency reported.
Meat rumours are ‘malicious slandering’
“This is completely a malicious slandering and vilification which is absolutely unacceptable to us.
“We hereby express our utmost anger and the strongest condemnation over such an act,” he said.
The rumour was also debunked by Snopes.com. The website said that images circulating on social media were old, adding that one of them was from a marketing stunt for action video game Resident Evil 6.
