Tsingtao Beer Employee Caught Urinating in Tank

• Chinese authorities investigate viral video of Tsingtao employee urinating in tank.
• Video gains millions of views on social media, causing outrage.
• Tsingtao alerts police and seals ingredients batch featured in the video.

Chinese authorities have launched an investigation into a viral video that allegedly shows a Tsingtao employee urinating into a tank, reportedly containing ingredients for their popular beer.

The video has garnered tens of millions of views on social media platforms. The company promptly informed the police upon discovering the video and assured that the batch of ingredients had remained sealed.

Tsingtao, a leading beer producer in China and its largest exporter, now faces scrutiny.

In the video, which surfaced online on Thursday, an individual in company attire and a helmet is seen climbing over a high wall and relieving themselves inside the container.

The location tag on the video indicates “Tsingtao beer No.3 factory,” according to local news outlet The Paper’s report on Friday.

Business outlet “National Business Daily” later cited an internal source as saying both the person who took the video and the person appearing in it were not direct employees of the company.

The Bureau of Market Supervision and Administration in Pingdu City, the factory’s location, issued a statement on Friday, revealing that they promptly formed a team to conduct an on-site investigation upon discovering the video.

They took measures to seal the entire batch of ingredients featured in the clip and committed to taking the matter seriously once all details are verified.

Tsingtao, in its statement on Friday, emphasized its significant concern regarding the online video and confirmed that the police had initiated an investigation. The BBC has sought comments from the company.

The video has sent shockwaves through Chinese social media, given Tsingtao’s prominent status both domestically and internationally.

“A piss that will ruin a lot of money, this worker has done some real damage here,” a top-liked comment on X-like platform Weibo reads.

“Good thing I don’t drink beer – but it’s unimaginable if this brand is finished because of this,” one user said.

“Is this the first time though?” another comment reads.

When the Shanghai Stock Exchange opened on Monday morning, Tsingtao Brewery’s shares experienced a significant initial drop.

However, they stabilized and were trading relatively unchanged by the afternoon. Notably, the Hong Kong market, where Tsingtao shares are also listed, remained closed on Monday due to the Chung Yeung Festival holiday.
