<p>I think that's a bit harsh Kai.</p>
<p>He does say they paid the guys medical bills (remind me of a SINGLE US company that has EVER done that?)<br />He also comes across as open and honest, he even states he doesn't know the full depth of the media thing because he doesn't speak chinese, but will investigate. two points you neglected to mention in your summary.<br />You also said "<span>Chinese people are not intelligent" which is NOT what he said, Remember the line from Men In Black?<br /></span>"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat"</p>
<p>And I would agree with that, people, in large groups panic.</p>
<p><br />Now I'm not siding with him, but we only hear what the papers have said.<br />And trust me on this (as someone who is part of a minority group that is attacked every single day by the british media), the papers rarely tell the truth, because the truth does not sell papers, what sells papers is half truths, and sensationalism.</p>
<p>So, maybe for a change we should wait until we have the FULL story before judging someone?</p>

<div>Uli Behringer replied on Facebook. Or rather issued a statement, since little is an actual retort on the allegations. </div>

<p>As someone on that thread posted, everything "consumer" comes at a price.</p>
<p>You want it cheap, it's going to cost somewhere and usually at the expense of humanity.</p>
