Tsingtao: Video shows Chinese beer worker urinating into tank

Chinese authorities are investigating after a viral video appeared to show a worker from Tsingtao urinating into a tank, believed to contain ingredients for its popular beer.

The clip has received tens of millions of views on social media.

The company said it alerted police immediately after the video came to its attention, adding that the batch of ingredients had been sealed.

Tsingtao is one of China’s top beer producers and its biggest exporter.

Shit, just had one last Saturday in a Chinese buffet

Buddahriffic,

Ok, it is relevant, so you get a reluctant upvote. But why are you talking like Yoda?

howsetheraven,

Have you ever even watched Doctor Who?

Buddahriffic,

No, but now I’m curious what the connection is.

nucleative,

Chinese buffet, he was at. Tsingtao he drank. Piss, not shit, he likely tasted.

Buddahriffic,

My joke was going for shit the verb, not the noun.

superguy,

Where’s the video?

It’s China, what did you expect? Dignity?

And if one China’s biggest exporter is a brand that nobody heard of then you know it’s shit. Heck, I live in Vietnam, and we import a lot of shit from China but this is the first I knew of its existence. I wouldn’t be surprised if their beer is made with literal dog shit.

In case you didn’t notice from the tone, we Vietnamese fucking hate China.

The Tsingtao brand is sold in 62 countries and regions around the world,[13] and accounts for more than 50% of China’s beer exports. According to the company’s financial figures from 2010, Tsingtao saw a 6.6% year-on-year revenue increase from sales to Hong Kong and other overseas markets.

Hell, we have Tsingtao in some stores near me in the US, and I live in the South lol

I live in the UK and I don’t drink beer because I generally, ironically, think beer overall tastes like piss, and yet I still know Tsingtao. It has fairly substantial market recognition in a lot of countries.

Cyberjin,

Yeah try to avoid food from China. There is a lot of fake food and drinks that isn’t good for consumption.

Everyone scams in China

Spread the rumour it’s schoolgirl urine, change the name to Pi-Tsingtao and export to Japan. Problem solved.

Agent641,

New trolley problem just dropped: would you drink free beer disposed of by the brewery, knowing there is a non-zero chance it contains a tiny amount of piss?

XTornado,

I wouldn’t because I do not need to LMAO… But diluted enough… it’s like it isn’t there.

Buddahriffic,

As long as he didn’t have a bladder infection. Otherwise it might ferment a little differently.

hersh,

The city of Portland disagrees! Back in 2014, they dumped 38 million gallons of water from a reservoir because one stupid drunk peed in it. www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-27069611

On Wednesday, Mr Shaff said while animal waste often found its way into the reservoir without any public health risk, there was “at least a perceived difference from my perspective” on human waste.

“I could be wrong on that, but the reality is our customers don’t anticipate drinking water that’s been contaminated by some yahoo who decided to pee into a reservoir,” he said.

That is the secret ingredient.

atempuser23,

Looks like someone found the secret to Coors light

kubok,

I was having the same though about Heineken.

TwanHE,

Nah, they only use pure unfiltered ditch water.

kubok,

Judging by your user name, I'll assume that you speak Dutch. The Heineken factory in Den Bosch is near the Brabanthallen. For context: this is a huge congress hall (or rather: a complex of several halls) that used to be a cattle market. I once went there a few days after a large cattle market. You could still smell the cow piss. To this day I still maintain that it is no coincidence that the Brabanthallen and the Heineken factory are so close to each other. :-)

TwanHE,

I’ve been there too a while back. You might be on to their secret ingredient.

ours,

But then at least it would have some character.

Dkarma,

Assy is character tho

Fuck’s sake. I drink drank that beer. My local supermarket stocks it.

That leaves me with the choice of APAs, chilled stout or Australian beer.

Budweiser gonna sue them for stealing their recipe

pensa,

I'm currently in Thailand and saw a couple of arrogant Chinese get ruthlessly beaten by street justice. They had been talking shit about everyone all night and then started being physical. It took seconds for there to be dozens of Thai people beating them worse than I have ever seen someone beaten. It was really bad. I'd be surprised if they lived. By the time the police came both Chinese were completely unconscious on the ground with blood everywhere. Nobody was taken into custody other than the Chinese guys.

When talking with people after it happened they mostly agreed that Chinese people have been the problem causers more than other tourists. There seems to have been a major shift in Chinese culture over the past few years and most of them seem to have a massive superiority complex.

I used to think it was the CCP that made China a bad place but it seems it's the people as well.

Maajmaaj,

Why would anyone try to fight thai people?? They have eight fists each. Hell no.

Only those that have never seen Ong Bak. 😶

dumdum666,

What does that have to do with beer?

sysadmin420,

Maybe they drank a beer or two once in their lives. /s

pensa,

It had to do with the Chinese being assholes. Context is everything and not always a single thing.

dumdum666,

So your whole country has no assholes? How do you even shit on the toilet?

Noodle07,

Just regurgitate the shit in the media

floofloof,

dozens of Thai people beating them worse than I have ever seen someone beaten. It was really bad. I’d be surprised if they lived. By the time the police came both Chinese were completely unconscious on the ground with blood everywhere. Nobody was taken into custody other than the Chinese guys.

Kinda sounds like there were a fair number of Thai assholes around too.

pensa,

Is that your take away?

They didn't do shit and let the Chinese guys do and say what they wanted. It was not until the Chinese people became physical that the Thais put them in their place.

I'd say the Thais were very restrained in their handling of the situation overall.

Don't start shit, won't be shit.

zerfuffle,

Tourists are consistently the worst parts of society because they’re often the wealthiest demographic… And by sheer numbers, you’ll get more shitty tourists from populous countries geographically close to you.

You could make the same claim as a Mexican about Americans or as the French about the British. Tourists are universally assholes.

Niello,

It's because the incompetent PM made the visa free for mainland Chinese. It's going to get a lot worse in Thailand.

The culture is the problem and the CCP insistent on keeping outdated traditions and social values keeps them in the past. China cultural values went to shit ever since the cultural revolution and the government has done nothing to better it, only doubling down and adding more problematic beliefs. There were needs to be selfish and to deceive for survival, but with the kind of government the CCP is instead of that slowly going away after the worst is over you have that continue to be ingrain into future generations to the point it becomes an identity. Then add the contemporary dose of propaganda and the sudden increase in progress and you have the superiority complex.

Empricorn,

I’d like to point out a couple things:

  • You took an article about one Chinese dude being an asshole and took a massive detour to tell your story in which:
  • You saw two Chinese people acting like assholes and proceeded to judge Chinese people in general for it

I’m not one to rush to play this “card”, but that’s literal racism.

I know you also factored in the reactions of the other people. (Not even going to go into what kind of person calmly watches two humans get brutally beaten maybe-to-death.) But imagine if this happened in the US. With our difficult history, let’s say it was 2 black people. There’s a certain kind of person who would hang around afterwards, spouting information about that race and their perception of them. Just some food for thought…

Niello,

You must have never dealt with Chinese tourists. It's not racism as much as directly observable behaviour of many Chinese tourists, especially towards other Asians or black people. It shouldn't be surprising that many people in mainland China are radicalised, and it comes as no surprise that's how they behave outside their country.

pensa, (edited )

I don't think it's racism and for you to throw that out shows that you missed the forest for the trees.

Also, who said I calmly watched? It was wild and I thought the guys were dead. I wasn't calm at all. You're filling in blanks to my story that are not true. Don't do that. You assumed a too much and were wrong on every assumption. You could read the other comments in this thread for some confirmation of the problem with Chinese people (not all of them so don't assume that again).

So because of your assumptions I feel I need to clarify what I meant. I meant that from the stories I have heard from Thais about the Chinese, they are a real nuisance. I based my opinion on the Thai stories combined with my time in Hong Kong before China took over. Not even that long ago Hong Kong was my favorite place in the world. Then China came and did China things. The culture has changed and the people are different. Obviously not all, that would be an over generalization. There is something going on in Chinese culture that is just as bad as the MAGA in America. Is it racist if I say my fellow Americans are bad? Because I think a sizable portion are.

I shared that story because it was the most prominent, recent, and relevant but there are plenty of others if you want to hear them. Actually I have a story that happened today about some extremely rude russians. They were obvious draft dodgers and causing problems for those around them. Would that story be racist?

vivadanang,

Thailand is dealing with shit-tons of expat russians hiding out for the war to end. Now the fuckwits are trying to set up russian businesses in thailand like white-russian-only nail salons and white-russian-only taxis. I hope the Thais take everything they have.
