A question of trust

CHINA'S food and drug industries are facing a crisis of trust, a recent report has found.

In a scale of one to 100, the food industry earned a score of 65.4, or "serious," in the severity level of cheating the public, according to a report by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, citing a survey last October of 1,171 respondents in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou.

The drug industry was given 64, also serious, in the annual report on social mentality.

An even worse credibility crisis is plaguing the country's advertising and real estate sectors as both, with scores above 70, were deemed "very serious" in the level of cheating the public.
