This fake rice is then "massively sold" on the Chinese market. Fake rice sold in Taiyuan, Shaanxi is made from a mixture of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and plastic, according to the report.

Not a surprise they do things like this. I mean even though it's a communist state anyone can start a company. Know the right people and pay the bribes and you can do whatever you want. China is quite corrupt.

Warning may contain lead.
