Chinese Doctors Criticize Chinese Quacks in Africa

From China in Africa: The Real Story Thu Jun 5 2014, 13:58:00

Pyramid Scheme Shop credit: James Wan

Interesting, detailed, and alarming story on a Chinese quack and the profitable, deadly pyramid scheme he has rolled out in Uganda:

"200,000 Ugandans have signed up to a company believing it will cure all their illnesses and help them make a fortune. But it is more likely to do the opposite."

This is the kind of balanced, important, deeply researched reporting that China Africa specialists long for. I particularly like the interview with an authentic Chinese doctor who is at first amused by the claims being made and then, as he learns more, genuinely alarmed by their implications.
