The cause of the problem is now well established: a series of mainland food scandals in recent years has crippled consumer trust, most notably in the dairy industry.Wang Dingmian, chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Dairy Association, has said that he feels ashamed to be a part of China's dairy industry.
