China calls U.S. blocking of its seafood imports indiscriminate and unacceptable

China damaged U.S. security interests with diplomatic moves and military buildup, and recently business interests notably with yuan revaluation. Business interests were able to hold off protests from security interests. Not anymore, I guess. The stage is set.

My take on this is that the PRC has become very, very nervous. I suspect major American buyers like Walmart have told them to shut up lest what they say draw attention to the issue, and injure the reputation of ALL Chinese products in America.

Hey Li, I got two words for you and they ain’t Good Day. Also we don’t need no stinkin’ chinese fishes or any other crap (like toothpaste) that you send over here.

The red commi’s had it coming to them for a while, about time I say.

[greeneyes]

We don’t like it when stinkin commie types get critical of USA especially when it involves tainted food and stuff that could hurt our children.

[greeneyes]

yeh, they have it comin’ but what has happened to Walmart. Do you think Sam might be turnin’ over in his grave?

[Pro-Bush]

You bet Sam’s turning in his grave. Greed takes over.

Quit kissing the chi-coms butts and start holding them to a civilized norm.
How about FAIR trade?
HOw about quit killing your citizens?
How about your little pollution thing you’ve got going for you with no standards?

"...and recently business interests notably with yuan revaluation"

Does anyone know the current status of the yuan revaluation?

The last I recall, they made a tiny revaluation, but did not remove the dollar peg entirely becuase their economy wasn't strong enough to handle a full float of their currency?

I think the best explanation is the obvious one: The US by intervening firmly here is trying to stave off the prospect of suddenly losing China as a major supplier due to an avalanche of alarmed consumers. Then the US wouldn’t have a bribe for China any more not to nuke it.

[greeneyes]

What if we all sent letters email and faxes to Walmart headquarters? Tell them we want only American food grown in America do you think it would make any difference?

[HiTech RedNeck]

we’d get lots of American made word salad.

[greeneyes]

LOL. Doesn’t sound very tasty.

[Caipirabob]

The big benefit here is that China's arrogance will inspire and compel millions of Americans to at least attempt to forgo their goods and consumables.

To hell with the ChiComs and their distributors here. They are all trying to poison us.

[G-Man 1]

Read your country of origin label. Don’t buy chinese crap. Your life may depend on it.

[melancholy]

I've suddenly lost my appetite for seafood from China. Looks like they'll have to poison their own citizens!

No difference from our government officials who try to shove deadly bills down our throats!

Our weak government is shouted at by all kinds of foreign entities whether Chinese or Mexican. It works most of the time so why wouldn't the foreigners stay on the offense against the only super power?

Sad, very sad indeed.

Yet another reason NOT to fly. Blackbird.

I find the importing of tainted goods as unacceptable.

[Gritty]

Maybe I’ll start using my septic tank to raise catfish. At least then I’ll know whose sewage I’m putting tartar sauce on.

[Weeedley]

And export the greedy businessmen importing hand over fist that crap to china where they can be force fed tainted eel.
