Read this off BBC:

Tackling Qingdao’s invading algae

[...]
Locals say the algae has never been so thick here - agricultural and industrial pollution are thought to be responsible.

But China, embarrassed by the most vivid proof yet of its environmental problems, says the algae is a natural occurrence, and blames the sea for being too salty, the sun for being too hot.

At a news conference earlier in the day one official suggested that algae could be good for you.

“The Japanese eat it,” she said.

If one day every Malaysian minister gets the can, I’m sure China will welcome them with open arms. Excellent work experience, after all.

    To be fair, China is a very difficult place to run. And quite frankly I take all western press reportage with a pinch of salt especially when its translated and abstracted. Wen and Hu have done excellent jobs in managing the earthquakes, braving after shocks to be at ground zero. This is definitely better than ANY world leader could have done since WWII.

    I talked about this article in my weekly meeting with my advisor and lab members, and emphasized the part “the japanese eat it!”. Being Japanese, they all went o_0. and the funniest thing is, my advisor asked the other (Japanese) students: do we eat this slimy thing? lol.
