HIV-negative AIDS disease
A Hong Kong-ba<\/em>sed newspaper reported that some people with AIDS-like symptoms without detectable evidence of infection with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, claimed to have caught an unknown "HIV-negative AIDS disease." The Ministry of Health dismissed the allegation, adding that so-called patients may be suffering from a fear of getting AIDS.<\/p>\n

panicked salt buyers
The crowds of Chinese who rushed to buy salt in the belief it would protect them from radiation from last month’s Japanese nuclear plant crisis that might reach China and cause health problems.<\/p>\n

lean-meat pig
Pigs that are fed illegal additive clenbuterol, also known as "lean meat powder," to speed up muscle building and lower the fat co<\/em>ntent for better sales. Excessive co<\/em>nsumption of clenbuterol-tainted pork can lead to health problems. The term spread widely after the additive was found in products from China’s largest meat processor last month.<\/p>\n

Internet hirelings
The temporary hands hired by small advertising companies to post an o<\/em>nline comment a<\/em>bout a person or a product, jazz up a boring or uninteresting post or topic on an Internet forum, or fabricate a Q&A a<\/em>bout a product in order to market it. The whole process is like pouring water into a co<\/em>ntainer to force a piece of wood from the bottom to the top. That’s why the huge number of temporary hands are referred to as shuijun, which literally means water army.<\/p>\n

smuggler
This refers to the people who smuggle commodities, especially digital products such as iPads, cameras and iPhones, across the border from duty-free Hong Kong to the Chinese mainland wher they sell for higher prices. The ex<\/em>pression comes from shui huo, or grey im<\/em>port, meaning those products ordered from an overseas market without going though the official channels.
