The public concern is more about whether Master Kong has made a false claim relating to its water source in its advertisement rather than who revealed the news. Master Kong should reflect on its own wrongdoing instead of complaining against its rival, which is believed to have revealed the scandal, says an article on Chengdu Business Newspaper. Excerpts:

Last year a popular article on the Internet revealed that the "excellent water source" that Master Kong claims in the advertisement of its mineral water is only tap water, and this created a major public controversy.

Recently, a former senior executive of Master Kong disclosed to China News Week that after the investigation, Master Kong believed that the manipulator behind the "water source gate" of Master Kong is its rival, Nongfu Spring.
