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.

My boss told me once a story that reveals the Chinese commitment to hygiene. He was in China to visit a manufacturing facility. At one point, he and a friend had to go to the men's room. As they walked in, they noticed the floor was wet, about shoe-sole deep. As they stood at the urinals, they began to hear a sound of running water. Once they had zipped up, they began to look for the source of the running "water".

They found it. The pipes that ran from the urinals made their way to the corners of the room , where they were emptying onto the floor. The "water" they were walking in was actually their own (and others') urine.

Much of China is such an environmental hellhole that it is probably impossible to say. Personally, I won't knowingly eat anything originating in China. Why enrich these a-holes and take a chance of being poisoned into the bargain?
