A franchise of the widely popular hotpot restaurant chain Xiabu Xiabu has been suspended by law enforcement authorities in Weifang, Shandong province, after a series of food safety scandals in the People's Republic of China.
According to a man named Ma, who is a resident of Weifang, he had taken his family out to dinner Thursday night at the restaurant when his pregnant wife found a dead rat in the soup after having a few morsels.
“If you are worried about the baby, then we’ll give you 20,000 yuan (US$3,000) to abort it," the restaurant staff shockingly told Ma, according to Shanghai-based Kankan News.
