Rotten Mooncakes
Sometimes a bit of prose just leaps out at you. This is from XinHua - China View...
The mooncake certificate signing (CS) has been promoted in Shenzhen for more than a decade as representing high quality, and is accepted by more and more consumers.
But Jingbao reporters found out recently that the issuance of mooncake CS is not standardized. As long as it gets paid, the Shenzhen Consumer Goods Quality Promotion Association will issue the CS signs to anyone. Its behaviour has greatly damaged CS's public credibility.
I wonder what will happen when Verisign gets into the mooncake certificate business? It sounds like the current Certificate Authority is not doing too well.
