The sudden cooling off of Dongzhou Barbecue is due to two main factors: one is Wang Tiejun pointing out that the iron skewers do not meet food hygiene regulations, and the other is the report from CCTV's "Focus" program.
To be fair, some barbecue vendors in Dongzhou indeed use iron skewers that do not meet regulations, but honestly speaking, which city in the country doesn't have this phenomenon? If a nationwide survey were conducted specifically on this matter, I'm afraid no city would be spared.
Why did Wang Tiejun target Dongzhou instead of other cities? It's because Dongzhou Barbecue is too popular, standing out always attracts attention.
Wang Tiejun is different from others in the way he fights fraud; most people do it out of fairness, wanting to punish wrongdoing, glorify the good, and preserve authenticity, but his motivation for fighting fraud is profit-driven.
