I’m wondering how many Chinese people die each year because of these problems. My guess is that we will never know, and that the people in China will never know either. We need to ban all food and drug imports from China immediately. That will encourage other countries to follow suit. Losing that kind of business will force China to fix things.

When considering what might trigger an economic reversal in the burgeoning Chinese economy, it certainly seems like a “crisis in quality” might be the thing.

We should halt ALL Chinese imports until they get rid of the commies in charge. If we are going to go have to fight them, let’s do it now.

They also have a massive pollution problem that stands little chance of being cleaned up before the Olympics. If they actually hold the events anywhere near Beijing, I bet the winning times will be significantly worse.

China Protests U.S. Food and Drug Administration Warning

China has called a U.S. warning against using its toothpaste irresponsible. “The low levels of diethylene glycol (DEG) are not ‘extraordinarily harmful’ (the level required for recall under China’s regulations),” said Gwang Lai, China’s General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine Minister.

Concerns about the toothpaste follow reports from Panama that attribute over 100 deaths to Chinese cough syrup containing DEG.

Gwang insisted that adding anti-freeze to toothpaste and other products was a “feature” rather than evidence of contamination. “DEG sweetens the taste and helps guard against freeze damage during the cooler months of the year,” Gwang said. “So far we have not reported any deaths resulting from using the toothpaste. The American alarmism is a hostile act against the People’s Republic of China.”

I always hate to say this, but trial lawyers have their uses. We need to keep them under control, but in China you see what happens when a company never has to fear that the people it kills, maims, or rips off, will come back and sue it into the ground. All you have to fear in China is upsetting the powers that be enough that they shoot you, and so long as you are making enough money to keep your partners and protecters in the Communist Party happy, that wont happen.

I think they’ll grandstand as usual. They can’t wait for the ending ceremonies anyway. They’ll move on Taiwan and keep the visitors as “guests” until hostilities are over.
