Maybe they use Chinese science? Oh wait: maybe Chinese have different DNA from foreigners. Yes. That must be it. Celestial Kingdom DNA and all that.

Er. Paternity tests work by comparing the DNA of the child with that of the suspected father.

Round to the nearest integer; test for gasping and incredulity..

The test doesn’t test for DNA, it tests for paternity. That said, I don’t know why anyone would be surprised at the result.

Thanks for reposting this Anthony; furthermore, thanks for stating your doubt upon this news story. All this sensational news, real (fish tank, exploding manhole) and otherwise, is turning China into the next Japan WTF for Westerners.

In the unlikely event that it is true, the non-boyfriend twin could and should be charged with rape.

The idea that paternity tests fail because the two potential fathers are identical twins is utter nonsense. Even identical twins have slightly different DNA. Bad science.

The story is a sea of holes.
