In reading Chinese publications, Google Translation is not your best tool.

Chinese writings are full of slangs and idioms, tones and connotations, which are all lost in Google Translation.

If you are interested to get a real sense of what this article is actually saying, find yourself a straight-talking, no-bullshit Chinese (which is a rare breed already).

In case if you are a Chinese (or a Chinese-literate person), then you are most likely to have been misled-by-paraphrasing (断章取义) and talking-blindly-with-eyes-open (睁眼说瞎话).

Not to mention that this article is peer reviewed by the PLA, and if you dig a bit deeper (DYOR as you claim to be), you will find the same author and reviewer published other articles/interviews/snippets to debunk (or refute, if you use Google Translate) food additives and supplements, lactoferrin included.

Investing in a Chinese company without a Chinese mindset is already dangerous, to do so without an understanding of those societal and cultural mechanics is even worse then flying blind.

all fyi, dyor (but for the sake of your hard-working money, use and get familiar with baidu, zhihu, weibo, wechat, jd.com, taobao.com, and many more)
