And GM thinks it's a good idea to open a plant over there?!? Presumably the move was to get in on the low cost of production. But why? The company must think consumers are idiots.
I’ll never eat soy sauce again.
China is making 2x the number of vehicles that the US is and that stat is increasing every year.
Anybody who doesn’t participate in that market is likely to be left behind.
JMHO.
and it ain't Chinese brands, it's in all brands.
I ain't just the vitamin C . . . .
Buy Japanese soy sauce ... better anyway.
” Buy Japanese soy sauce ... better anyway. “
hmmm I heard something about Japanese *radiation* - still and all over the place ~
(A talk radio person said some Japanese tea (leaves) registered something with a radiation meter.)

In less than a decade, China has captured 90 percent of the U.S. market for vitamin C, driving almost everyone else out of business.
Chinese pharmaceutical companies also have taken over much of the world market in the production of antibiotics, analgesics, enzymes and primary amino acids. According to an industry group, China makes 70 percent of the world’s penicillin, 50 percent of its aspirin and 35 percent of its acetaminophen (often sold under the brand name Tylenol), as well as the bulk of vitamins A, B12, C and E.
You don’t want your fried rice glowing in the dark?

I’m simply not going to eat soy sauce again. Period.
As fa as I’m concerned all food from china should be labeled as such with the largest brightest lettering on the package so people can avoid it.
You are out of your mind if you eat poisonous Chinese foods or medicines.
The problem is that our corrupt, non-functioning federal government does not allow you to know. Chinese apple juice is added to many foods. Many vitamins are now made in China. Some fish and shrimp are farm raised in China.
Well, if "free trade" becomes conditional on "fair trade"...as per Romney.
LOL. I hear ‘ya, old timer.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading through your homepage. You are a walking inspiration and I salute you! Cheers!

I don’t believe a single number from a single government office in China, nor from a single company in China. I have come to believe it is all made up out of whole cloth - or rice.
When the music stops, I hope you can find a chair.
Whenever I start to buy any food, I look to see where it came from. If it is China, forget about it. You would be amazed how much of the lower cost spices and seasonings come from China. Scary!
their new corporate logo...
Sad, isn’t it...
Do you ever experience the unexpected flavor of dirty deep fried dumplings?
