"Fake" Water?

This is why western enterprises do not bring their R & D centers to China:

China will attach electronic identification labels to every barrel of drinking water in its capital, state media said on Monday, after a report that almost half of water used in coolers across Beijing could be tainted.

China is trying to fight a series of health safety scandals ahead of next year's Beijing Olympics ranging from products as diverse as toys and toothpaste to tires, drugs and food.

The Beijing Times said in July that almost half the barreled water sold in the capital, host of the 2008 Olympics, could be "fake", or not as pure as its manufacturers claim.
